भीमसेनस्य बहुमहारथसंयुगः
Bhīmasena’s Engagement with Multiple Mahārathas
चोदयामास तानश्चान् विनुन्नान् भीष्मसायकै: । भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण बिना किसी घबराहटके धैर्य धारणकर भीष्मके सायकोंसे क्षत- विक्षत हुए उन घोड़ोंको शीघ्रतापूर्वक हाँक रहे थे || ४४ ह ।। ततः पार्थो धनुर्गृह्ा दिव्यं जलदनि:स्वनम्
codayāmāsa tāṁś cāśvān vinunnān bhīṣmasāyakaiḥ | bhagavān śrīkṛṣṇaḥ ||
サञ्जャヤは言った。すると、福徳あるシュリー・クリシュナは、揺るがぬ心で少しも怯まず、ビーマの矢によりすでに傷つき打ちのめされていたその馬たちを励まし、迅速な決意をもって前へと駆った。この場面は、規律ある勇気を示す。傷と危難のただ中にあっても、御者は取り乱さず、沈着と技によって戦士の大義を支えつつ、己の務めを守り抜くのである。

Educational Q&A
Steadfastness in dharma: even under threat and pain, one should act with calm discipline and competence. Kṛṣṇa’s unshaken charioteering models ethical courage—supporting rightful action through self-control rather than fear.
During the battle, Bhīṣma’s arrows have wounded the chariot horses. Kṛṣṇa, serving as charioteer, quickly urges and controls them, maintaining the chariot’s movement and protecting Arjuna’s fighting capacity despite the intense assault.
