तथैव द्रौणिनिर्मुक्तिर्भीम: संनतपर्वभि:

Transliteration

tathaiva drauṇinir-muktir bhīmaḥ saṃnata-parvabhiḥ

Translation

サンジャヤは語った。同じくビーマもその危地を免れた。ドラウニが放った武器は阻まれ、打ち落とされ、その勢いは折られて鎮められたのである。この叙述は、戦の狂乱のただ中にあっても最も恐るべき猛攻が抑えられ得ること、そして武人の生存は力のみならず、運命の転回と、暴力に対して制御をもって応じる術にかかっていることを示している。

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Even in war, outcomes are not determined by sheer aggression alone; force can be checked, and survival may come through restraint, counteraction, and the larger moral and fated currents that govern the battlefield.

What is happening in the narrative?

Sañjaya reports that Bhīma is likewise delivered from danger, with the attack or weapon released by Drauṇi (Aśvatthāman) being brought under control—its momentum effectively bent down or subdued.
