Bhīmasena’s Discourse on Kāla, Resolve, and the Feasibility of Ajñātavāsa (भीमसेनस्य कालोपदेशः)

महापापानि कर्माणि यानि केवलसाहसात्‌ । आरभ्यन्ते भीमसेन व्यथन्ते तानि भारत,भरतनन्दन भीमसेन! जो महान्‌ पापमय कर्म केवल साहसके भरोसे आरम्भ किये जाते हैं, वे सभी कष्टदायक होते हैं

mahāpāpāni karmāṇi yāni kevala-sāhasāt | ārabhyante bhīmasena vyathante tāni bhārata ||

ユディシュティラは言った。「ビーマセーナよ、ただ無謀な勇み足の力に頼って始められる大罪の業は、必ず苦悩をもたらす。バラタの裔よ、ダルマと結果を省みずに起こすそのような企ては、やがて苦しみの源となるのだ。」

Educational Q&A

Actions that are morally wrong and initiated from mere rash bravado (sāhasa) inevitably produce suffering; one should act with dharmic reflection rather than impulsive daring.

Yudhiṣṭhira addresses Bhīma, cautioning him against undertaking perilous or sinful enterprises driven only by audacity, emphasizing that such choices bring distress and harmful consequences.
