Arjuna and Bhima’s pressure; escalation toward Bhishma

ātmaniḥśreyasaṁ sarve prāptakālaṁ mahābalāḥ | mantrayāmāsur avyagrā mantraniścayakovidāḥ ||
Sañjaya berkata: Maka semua pahlawan perkasa itu, melihat saatnya telah tiba, dengan tenang bermusyawarah tentang apa yang paling menjamin kesejahteraan mereka sendiri. Tanpa gelisah, mereka berunding sesama sendiri—mahir dalam nasihat dan cekap mencapai keputusan yang teguh.

Educational Q&A
Even amid war, wise leaders pause to assess the opportune moment and deliberate calmly for the greatest welfare; composure and clear counsel are presented as strengths equal to physical might.
Sañjaya reports that the assembled powerful warriors, seeing the time as appropriate, begin a composed strategic consultation aimed at deciding what course will best serve their interests.
