भीमसेनस्य बहुमहारथसंयुगः
Bhīmasena’s Engagement with Multiple Mahārathas
ववर्ष शरवर्षेण मेघो वृष्ट्या यथाचलौ । पुरुषसिंह श्रीकृष्ण और अर्जुनको रथपर बैठे देख शान्तनुनन्दन भीष्मने पुनः उनपर बाणोंकी वर्षा आरम्भ कर दी, मानो मेघ दो पर्वतोंपर जलकी धारा गिरा रहा हो
vavarṣa śaravarṣeṇa megho vṛṣṭyā yathācalau |
Sañjaya berkata: Bhīṣma, putera Śāntanu, melihat singa antara manusia—Śrī Kṛṣṇa—dan Arjuna duduk bersama di atas kereta perang, sekali lagi memulakan hujan anak panah ke atas mereka, seolah-olah awan mencurahkan aliran air ke atas dua gunung. Ayat ini menegaskan keamatan pertempuran yang tidak mengenal henti: keberanian yang teguh bertemu tentangan yang teguh, dan medan perang menjadi gelanggang ujian tekad serta kewajipan.

The verse highlights the ethic of steadfastness in dharma-yuddha: even when facing revered opponents, a warrior committed to duty maintains unwavering effort. The simile of cloud and mountains frames endurance and resolve as central virtues amid conflict.
Sañjaya narrates that Bhīṣma, seeing Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna together on their chariot, renews his assault, releasing a dense barrage of arrows—likened to a cloud pouring rain upon two mountains.
