サञ्जयは言った。戦場においてビーマセーナの放ったその武器は、羅刹の大いなる幻術(マーヤー)を打ち砕き、深い苦痛を与えた。ビーマセーナに幾度も打たれた羅刹――羅刹王アランブシャは、戦場でビーマとの正面の争いを捨て、ドローナの戦陣へと駆け込んだ。

Educational Q&A

Even formidable deception (māyā) collapses before sustained courage and force used with resolve; in ethical terms, steadfast resistance to intimidation and illusion is portrayed as a warrior’s strength, while fleeing to a protective formation shows the limits of aggression when confronted by superior valor.

Alambuṣa, repeatedly struck by Bhīma and unable to withstand him, abandons the duel and runs toward Droṇa’s forces, seeking safety or support within Droṇa’s battle-array.
