Durgātitaraṇa—Conduct for Crossing Difficulties (दुर्गातितरणम्)
आहवेषु च ये शूरास्त्यक्त्वा मरणजं भयम् | धर्मेण जयमिच्छन्ति दुर्गाण्यतितरन्ति ते,जो शूरवीर युद्धस्थलमें मृत्युका भय छोड़कर धर्मपूर्वक विजय पाना चाहते हैं, वे सभी दुःखोंसे पार हो जाते हैं
āhaveṣu ca ye śūrās tyaktvā maraṇajaṁ bhayam | dharmeṇa jayam icchanti durgāṇy atitaranti te ||
ビーシュマは言った。「戦場のただ中で、死から生じる恐れを捨て去り、ダルマによって勝利を求める英雄たち——そのような者は、最も険しい関門さえ越え、己の苦患を克服する。」

Educational Q&A
Courage becomes ethically meaningful when it is guided by dharma: a warrior who abandons death-fear and seeks victory by righteous means is said to overcome even severe hardships and inner turmoil.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction to Yudhiṣṭhira, Bhīṣma continues teaching about dharma and conduct; here he praises warriors who, amid battle, set aside fear of death and pursue victory in a lawful, duty-bound manner.
