Devanagari script

जयरातरथं प्राप्य मुहु: सिंह इवानदत्‌ । बलवान पाण्डुपुत्रके मुक्केकी चोट लगते ही वह धराशायी हो गया। महाराज! ध्रुवको मारकर महाबली भीमसेन जयरातके रथपर जा पहुँचे और बारंबार सिंहनाद करने लगे

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The verse highlights kṣatriya-dharma in wartime: steadfast courage, forward movement after fulfilling a martial duty, and the psychological dimension of battle where a warrior’s lion-like roar asserts resolve and deters opponents while upholding one’s side in a righteous cause.

What is happening in the narrative?

Sañjaya reports that Bhīma, after killing Dhruva, advances to Jayarāta’s chariot and repeatedly roars like a lion, signaling dominance and challenging the enemy at close quarters.
