Educational Q&A
The verse highlights kṣātra-tejas and dhṛti—steadfast courage under extreme pressure. Bhīṣma’s composure, even when wounded, is presented as an ethical ideal of unwavering resolve in one’s chosen duty, regardless of pain or shifting circumstances.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Bhīṣma, though struck in battle through Śikhaṇḍī, remains unshaken like a mountain in an earthquake. Immediately after, Arjuna (called Bībhatsu) smiles and takes up his bow Gāṇḍīva, signaling the next escalation in the combat.
