Bhishma–Dhritarashtra Dialogue: Appraisal of Pandava Strength
न होष समर प्राप्य निवर्तेत कथठ्चन । यथा सततगो राजन् स हि हन्यात् परान् रणे,ये रणक्षेत्रमें पहुँचकर किसी तरह पीछे पैर नहीं हटा सकते। राजन! ये वायुके समान वेगसे रणभूमिमें शत्रुओंको मारेंगे
na hoṣa samaraṁ prāpya nivarteta kathaṁcana | yathā satatago rājan sa hi hanyāt parān raṇe ||
ພີດສະມະກ່າວວ່າ: «ເມື່ອເຂົາເຂົ້າເຖິງສະໜາມຮົບແລ້ວ ຈະບໍ່ຖອຍກັບໄປໃນທາງໃດໆ. ໂອ ພະຣາຊາ, ດ້ວຍຄວາມໄວບໍ່ຂາດສາຍດັ່ງລົມ ເຂົາຈະຟັນລົ້ມສັດຕູໃນການຮົບ».
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse praises unwavering resolve in righteous combat: once duty has led a warrior to the battlefield, retreat is portrayed as improper; steadfastness and decisive action are emphasized as marks of martial dharma.
Bhishma is describing a warrior’s conduct and capability in war, assuring the king that, upon entering the battlefield, he will not withdraw and will move with wind-like speed to defeat enemies.
