भीमसेनस्य बहुमहारथसंयुगः
Bhīmasena’s Engagement with Multiple Mahārathas
दृष्टवा पार्थ महाबाहुं भीष्मायोद्यतमाहवे । महाबाहु कुन्तीकुमार अर्जुनको भीष्मके साथ युद्ध करनेके लिये उद्यत देख युधिष्ठिरकी वह भागती हुई विशाल सेना पुनः लौट आयी
dṛṣṭvā pārtha mahābāhuṃ bhīṣmāyodyatam āhave | mahābāhu kuntīkumāra arjunako bhīṣmake sātha yuddha karaneke liye udyata dekh yudhiṣṭhirakī vah bhāgatī huī viśāl senā punaḥ lauṭa āyī
サンジャヤは言った。「クンティの子、剛腕のアルジュナが、戦場にあってビーマ（毗湿摩）と相まみえんと備え立つのを見て、逃走していたユディシュティラの大軍は踵を返し、再び戻って来た。アルジュナの決意の姿は勇気と秩序を取り戻させ、恐慌を鎮め、正しきダルマの戦において堅く立つべき務めを改めて打ち立てた。」

Educational Q&A
Steadfast leadership and visible resolve can restore collective courage; in a dharmic conflict, abandoning one’s duty out of fear leads to disorder, while firm commitment to rightful responsibility reestablishes morale and discipline.
The Pāṇḍava forces under Yudhiṣṭhira had begun to flee. When they see Arjuna—mighty and prepared to fight Bhīṣma—standing ready, the army regains confidence and turns back to rejoin the battle.
