Shloka 47
भीष्मपर्व — अध्याय ११०: पार्थभीमयोः प्रहारः तथा भीष्माभिमुखं संग्रामविस्तारः
Arjuna and Bhima’s pressure; escalation toward Bhishma
तस्माद् देववब्रतं भूयो वधोपायार्थमात्मन: । भवता सहिता: सर्वे प्रयाम मधुसूदन
tasmād devavrataṁ bhūyo vadhopāyārtham ātmanaḥ | bhavatā sahitāḥ sarve prayāma madhusūdana ||
ユディシュティラは言った。「それゆえ、マドゥスーダナよ、われら皆、汝を伴い、再びデーヴァヴラタ（ビーシュマ）のもとへ赴き、彼を討つ手立てを学ぼう。いかに痛ましい必然であろうとも、我らの大義を確かなものとする策は彼から求めねばならぬ。戦が盲なる憤怒ではなく、見定められた戦略に従って進むために。」

Educational Q&A
Even in a righteous war, action should be guided by deliberate counsel and moral awareness. Yudhiṣṭhira seeks a lawful, considered strategy—approaching the very elder they must oppose—showing that dharma involves restraint, consultation, and accountability, not mere victory-seeking.
On the battlefield context of Bhīṣma Parva, Yudhiṣṭhira addresses Kṛṣṇa (Madhusūdana) and proposes that all of them go again to Bhīṣma (Devavrata) to ask for the means by which Bhīṣma may be brought down—seeking guidance from the grandsire himself regarding how he can be defeated.
