Chapter 89: Bhīma dispatched to protect Ghaṭotkaca amid escalating engagements

एवमेते महाराज तावका: पाण्डवै: सह । पर्यवर्तन्त सहिता निशाकाले परंतप,शत्रुओंको संताप देनेवाले महाराज! इस प्रकार रातके समय आपके योद्धा पाण्डवोंके साथ अपने-अपने शिविरमें लौट आये

evam ete mahārāja tāvakāḥ pāṇḍavaiḥ saha | paryavartanta sahitā niśākāle paraṃtapa ||

സഞ്ജയൻ പറഞ്ഞു—ശത്രുസന്താപകനായ മഹാരാജാവേ! ഇങ്ങനെ രാത്രികാലത്ത് നിങ്ങളുടെ യോദ്ധാക്കൾ പാണ്ഡവരോടൊപ്പം ഒന്നിച്ച് പിൻവാങ്ങി തത്തത്ത ശിബിരങ്ങളിലേക്കു മടങ്ങി।

Educational Q&A

The verse is primarily narrative, but it implicitly highlights the discipline of armies and the practical ethics of warfare: when night falls, fighting pauses and forces regroup, emphasizing order, restraint, and accountability to command rather than uncontrolled violence.

Sañjaya reports to the king that the Kaurava troops, after engaging with the Pāṇḍavas, turned back together during the night and returned to their respective encampments.
