Night Battle: Droṇa’s Assault and Bhīma’s Suppression of Dhārtarāṣṭra Warriors
त॑ दृष्टवा पुरुषव्याप्रश्लुक़्ोश महतो रवान् प्रावृट्कले महाराज नर्दन्निव बलाहक:,महाराज! उन्हें देखते ही पुरुषसिंह भीमने वर्षाकालमें गरजते हुए मेघके समान बड़े जोरसे सिंहनाद किया
tān dṛṣṭvā puruṣavyāghro bhīmo mahato ravān | prāvṛṭkāle mahārāja nardann iva balāhakaḥ ||
サンジャヤは言った。「大王よ、彼らを見たビー マ――人中の虎――は、雨季に轟く雷雲のごとく、凄まじい大音声を放った。」その咆哮は恐れぬ決意のしるしであり、味方を奮い立たせ、敵には戦慄を与える。戦場の道義の緊迫の中で、なお一層響き渡った。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the warrior ethic of steadfast courage: a righteous fighter must display fearlessness and resolve, strengthening allies and confronting injustice without hesitation.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Bhīma, upon seeing the opposing forces (or the targeted foes), roars loudly like a monsoon thundercloud—an omen of imminent fierce combat and a deliberate act to intimidate the enemy.
