प्रावृट्-शरत्-वर्णनम् — Description of the Monsoon and Autumn; Sarasvatī in the Pāṇḍavas’ Exile

स तेजस्वी तथा तेन भुजगेन वशीकृतः विस्फुरन्‌ शनकैर्भीमो न शशाक विचेष्टितुम्‌,ऐसे तेजस्वी भीम भी उस अजगरके वशमें पड़ गये। वे धीरे-धीरे छटपटाते रहे, परंतु छूटनेकी अधिक चेष्टा करनेमें सफल न हो सके

sa tejasvī tathā tena bhujagena vaśīkṛtaḥ | visphuran śanakair bhīmo na śaśāka viceṣṭitum ||

ໄວສັມປາຍະນະ ກ່າວວ່າ: ດັ່ງນັ້ນ ພີມະຜູ້ສະຫວ່າງໄສ ກໍຖືກງູໃຫຍ່ນັ້ນຄວບຄຸມໄວ້. ເຖິງຈະບິດຕົວ ແລະດິ້ນຮົນທີລະນ້ອຍ ກໍບໍ່ອາດທຳຄວາມພະຍາຍາມໃຫ້ເກີດຜົນ ເພື່ອຫຼຸດພົ້ນໄດ້.

Educational Q&A

The verse highlights the limits of brute strength: even a mighty hero can be restrained by circumstances beyond physical power, prompting the need for patience, discernment, and reliance on wiser means than force alone.

Bhīma has been seized and controlled by a powerful serpent (ajagara). He struggles gradually, but despite his might he cannot move freely or escape.
