Arjuna Breaks the Encirclement; Bhīma Reinforces

पज्चालेष्वभि भूतेषु द्विषद्धिरपभीर्नदन्‌

Pañcāleṣv abhibhūteṣu dviṣadbhiḥ apabhīḥ nadan

സഞ്ജയൻ പറഞ്ഞു—ശത്രുക്കൾ പാഞ്ചാലരെ അമർത്തിക്കൊണ്ടിരിക്കുമ്പോൾ, ആ നിർഭയൻ യുദ്ധമദ്ധ്യേ മഹാനാദത്തോടെ ഗർജിച്ചു; അത് അചഞ്ചല ധൈര്യത്തിന്റെ അടയാളവും ശത്രുവിനോടുള്ള തുറന്ന വെല്ലുവിളിയും ആയിരുന്നു.

Educational Q&A

Even when one’s side is being overwhelmed, steadfast courage and clarity of purpose are presented as essential warrior-virtues; fearlessness is shown not as recklessness but as firmness in the face of adversity.

Sañjaya reports that the Pañcāla forces are being pressed by their enemies; at that moment a fearless warrior raises a loud battle-cry, signaling resistance and rallying spirit amid the crisis.
