Arjuna–Bhīṣma Strategic Engagement and Mutual Arrow-Interdiction (भीष्मार्जुनसमागमः)
तस्मिंस्तु तुमुले युद्धे वर्तमाने महाभये । अतिसर्वाण्यनीकानि पिता तेडभिव्यरोचत
tasmiṁstu tumule yuddhe vartamāne mahābhaye | atisarvāṇy anīkāni pitā te 'bhyarocata ||
សញ្ជ័យបាននិយាយ៖ នៅពេលសង្គ្រាមដ៏រំភើបរំភាយ និងគួរឱ្យភ័យខ្លាចយ៉ាងខ្លាំងនោះកំពុងកើតឡើង ព្រះអយ្យកោរបស់ព្រះអង្គ គឺព្រះភីष្ម បានភ្លឺរលោងលេចធ្លោ លើសលប់លើកងទ័ពទាំងអស់ ដោយពន្លឺតេជៈរបស់ព្រះអង្គផ្ទាល់។

The verse highlights the ethical psychology of war: in a terrifying, chaotic conflict, the presence of a revered and capable leader can ‘outshine’ the mass of forces—symbolizing how authority, discipline, and personal excellence steady an army and influence the performance of duty (kṣatriya-dharma) even amid fear.
Sañjaya reports to King Dhṛtarāṣṭra that as the great battle rages, Bhīṣma stands out above all the formations, radiant and dominant on the field—signaling the Kaurava side’s reliance on Bhīṣma’s prowess and command.
