Śiśupāla-vadha in the Rājasūya-sabhā (शिशुपालवधः — राजसूयसभायाम्)
उत्पतन्तं तु वेगेन जग्राहैनं मनस्विनम् । भीष्म एव महाबाहुर्महासेनमिवेश्वर:
utpatantaṃ tu vegena jagrāhainaṃ manasvinam | bhīṣma eva mahābāhur mahāsenaṃ iveśvaraḥ ||
ビーマが烈しい勢いで跳ね起き、シシュパーラへ突進せんとしたその時、強大な腕をもつビーシュマが立ち上がり、その気概高き勇士を掴んで押しとどめた――あたかも主マヘーシュヴァラがマハーセーナ(カールッティケーヤ)を制したと伝えられるように。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Even justified indignation must be governed by discipline and respect for the norms of the sabhā (royal assembly). Bhīṣma’s restraint of Bhīma models dharma as self-control and protection of public order, preventing personal wrath from becoming unlawful violence.
Bhīma, enraged and moving to attack Śiśupāla, leaps up swiftly. Bhīṣma immediately rises and physically restrains him. The poet heightens the scene with a divine simile: as Śiva restrains Mahāsena (Kārttikeya), so Bhīṣma checks Bhīma.
