Shloka 26
जाटासुरिमोक्षयित्वा आत्मानं च घटोत्कचात् | पुनरुत्थाय वेगेन घटोत्कचमुपाद्रवत्,तब जटासुरका पुत्र अपने-आपको घटोत्कचके बन्धनसे छुड़ाकर पुनः उठ गया और बड़े वेगसे उसकी ओर झपटा
jāṭāsurimokṣayitvā ātmānaṃ ca ghaṭotkacāt | punarutthāya vegena ghaṭotkacam upādravat ||
サञ्जयは語った。ガトートカチャの拘束から身を解いたジャータースラの子は、再び起き上がり、勢いを集めてガトートカチャめがけて一直線に突進した。この瞬間は、戦場で屈しない武人の心—生への本能と戦の掟に促され、圧倒的な力の前でも執念深く反撃する姿—を際立たせている。

The verse highlights steadfastness under pressure: even after being restrained, a fighter regains composure and re-engages. Ethically, it reflects the battlefield norm of resilience and counter-action, while also reminding readers how quickly violence renews itself when pride and survival dominate.
Sañjaya reports that Jāṭāsura’s son breaks free from Ghaṭotkaca’s hold, stands up again, and immediately charges at him with great speed, continuing the fierce close-quarters combat.
