भीमसेनस्य बहुमहारथसंयुगः
Bhīmasena’s Engagement with Multiple Mahārathas
ववर्ष शरवर्षेण मेघो वृष्ट्या यथाचलौ । पुरुषसिंह श्रीकृष्ण और अर्जुनको रथपर बैठे देख शान्तनुनन्दन भीष्मने पुनः उनपर बाणोंकी वर्षा आरम्भ कर दी, मानो मेघ दो पर्वतोंपर जलकी धारा गिरा रहा हो
vavarṣa śaravarṣeṇa megho vṛṣṭyā yathācalau |
サンジャヤは言った。シャンタヌの子ビーシュマは、人中の獅子たるシュリー・クリシュナとアルジュナが戦車に並び座すのを見て、再び彼らに矢の雨を降らせた。まるで雲が二つの山に滝のごとき水を注ぐかのようであった。この偈は、正しき戦いの容赦なき激しさを示す。揺るがぬ武勇は揺るがぬ抵抗に遭い、戦場は決意と義務の試金石となる。

The verse highlights the ethic of steadfastness in dharma-yuddha: even when facing revered opponents, a warrior committed to duty maintains unwavering effort. The simile of cloud and mountains frames endurance and resolve as central virtues amid conflict.
Sañjaya narrates that Bhīṣma, seeing Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna together on their chariot, renews his assault, releasing a dense barrage of arrows—likened to a cloud pouring rain upon two mountains.
