Bhīmasena–Hanūmān Saṃvāda: The Tail Test and the Divine Path
स भीमसेनस्तच्छुत्वा सम्प्रहृष्टतनूरुह: । शब्दप्रभवमन्विच्छंक्षचार कदलीवनम्,उसे सुनकर भीमसेनके रोंगटे खड़े हो गये और उसके कारणको हढूँढ़नेके लिये वे उस केलेके बगीचेमें घूमने लगे
sa bhīmasenas tac chrutvā samprahṛṣṭa-tanūruhaḥ | śabda-prabhavam anvicchan kṣacāra kadalīvanam ||
その音を聞くや、ビーマセーナはたちまち興奮して身の毛がよだった。音の起こりを突き止めようと、彼は芭蕉の林の中を歩き回り、その原因を追い求めた。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
The verse highlights alertness and purposeful inquiry: when confronted with an unusual event, Bhīma does not react blindly but seeks the cause, showing courage guided by investigation rather than mere impulse.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Bhīmasena, startled and thrilled by a sound, enters and wanders through a plantain grove to locate the origin of that noise.
