Shloka 9
कर्णपर्व — चतुर्दशोऽध्यायः
Arjuna’s Suppression of the Saṃśaptakas; Kṛṣṇa’s Strategic Admonition; Battlefield Inventory
ततः शरशतैद्रौणिर्दयामास पाण्डवम् | न चैनं कम्पयामास मातरिश्वेव पर्वतम्,तब अअश्वत्थामाने सैकड़ों बाणोंसे पाण्डुपुत्र भीमसेनको पीड़ित किया; परंतु जैसे हवा पर्वतको नहीं हिला सकती, उसी प्रकार वह उन्हें कम्पित न कर सका
tataḥ śaraśatair drauṇir dayāmāsa pāṇḍavam | na cainaṃ kampayāmāsa mātariśveva parvatam ||
ສັນຊະຍະກ່າວວ່າ: «ຕໍ່ມາ ດຣອຸນິ (ອັສວັດຖາມາ) ໄດ້ລະດົມຍິງລູກສອນນັບຮ້ອຍໃສ່ປານດະວະ ໃຫ້ເຈັບປວດ; ແຕ່ກໍບໍ່ອາດເຮັດໃຫ້ເຂົາສັ່ນໄຫວໄດ້ເລີຍ—ດັ່ງລົມບໍ່ອາດເຄື່ອນພູໄດ້.»

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores resilience: external blows and pain may strike the body, but a disciplined warrior’s steadiness of mind and stance need not be shaken—illustrated by the mountain unmoved by wind.
Sañjaya narrates that Aśvatthāman (Drauṇi) showers the Pāṇḍava Bhīma with hundreds of arrows, wounding him, but fails to make him waver; Bhīma remains firm like a mountain against the wind.
