Kaurava–Pāṇḍava Readiness
प्रीतो&हं पुत्र युध्यस्व जयमाप्रुहि पाण्डव । यत् तेडभिलषितं चान्यत् तदवाप्रुहि संयुगे
bhīṣma uvāca | prīto 'haṃ putra yudhyasva jayam āpruhi pāṇḍava | yat te 'bhilaṣitaṃ cānyat tad avāpruhi saṃyuge pāṇḍunandana ||
ဘီရှ္မက ပြောသည်– “သားရေ၊ ငါ ဝမ်းမြောက်ပြီ။ ပाण्डဝရေ၊ စစ်တိုက်လော့၊ အောင်ပွဲကို ရယူလော့။ ထို့ပြင် သင် စိတ်ထဲတွင် ဆန္ဒရှိသမျှ အခြားအရာတို့ကိုလည်း ဤစစ်မြေပြင်၌ ပြည့်စုံစေပါ—ပाण्डုဝంశ၏ ဂုဏ်ရည်ရေ” ဟု။
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse reinforces kṣatriya-dharma: once duty in a righteous battle is clear, one should act with firmness. Bhishma’s pleased approval functions as a moral sanction—urging courageous action aimed at rightful victory and the fulfilment of legitimate aims through disciplined combat.
Bhishma addresses a Pandava prince affectionately as “son,” expressing satisfaction and granting encouragement: he commands him to fight, predicts/permits victory, and tells him to accomplish whatever further objective he seeks on the battlefield.
