युधिष्ठिरस्य धनंजय-प्रति गर्हा
Yudhiṣṭhira’s Reproach to Dhanaṃjaya
भीमसेनमुखा: सर्वे पुत्रांस्ते प्रत्युपाद्रवन् । राजाकी यह आज्ञा पाते ही भीमसेन आदि समस्त पाण्डव महारथी आपके पुत्रोंपर टूट पड़े
bhīmasenamukhāḥ sarve putrāṁs te pratyupādravan |
サञ्जयは言った――ビーマセーナを先頭に、パーンダヴァの戦士たちは皆、そなたの子らへ真っすぐ突進した。王の命が下るや否や、ビーマと他のパーンダヴァの大車戦士たちはカウラヴァの王子たちに襲いかかり、決然たる力で戦を押し進めた――命令への服従と、ダルマが戦場の義務として呼び起こされたときに生じる、戦の止めがたい奔流を示す光景である。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the battlefield ethic of disciplined action: once a rightful command is issued within the warrior code, hesitation gives way to coordinated effort. Leadership (Bhīma at the front) and obedience to duty drive the collective response, showing how war amplifies resolve and consequences.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the Pāṇḍava fighters, with Bhīma leading, immediately charge and attack Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s sons. It marks a surge in the combat as the Pāṇḍavas act upon the king’s order and engage the Kaurava princes directly.
