मेघजालस्य महतो यथा मध्यगतो रवि: । उस गजसेनाके बीचमें पड़े हुए पाण्डुनन्दन भीमसेन महान्‌ मेघसमूहके मध्यमें स्थित हुए सूर्यके समान प्रकाशित होने लगे

meghajālasya mahato yathā madhyagato raviḥ | gajasenāyā madhye patitaḥ pāṇḍunandano bhīmaseno mahān meghasamūhasya madhye sthita iva sūryaḥ samprakāśata |

സഞ്ജയൻ പറഞ്ഞു—വലിയ മേഘസമൂഹത്തിന്റെ നടുവിൽ നിലകൊണ്ടാലും സൂര്യൻ പ്രകാശിക്കുന്നതുപോലെ, ഗജസേനയുടെ മദ്ധ്യത്തിൽ കുടുങ്ങിയിട്ടും പാണ്ഡുനന്ദനനായ ഭീമസേനൻ സൂര്യനെപ്പോലെ ദീപ്തനായി തെളിഞ്ഞു.

Educational Q&A

Righteous courage and steadfastness can make a person stand out even when surrounded by overwhelming danger; inner resolve (dharma-driven valor) becomes a kind of radiance that cannot be concealed by external adversity.

Sanjaya describes Bhima entering (or being caught within) the dense formation of the enemy’s elephant troops; despite the peril and confusion, Bhima becomes strikingly visible and dominant, compared to the sun shining from within a great mass of clouds.
