Chapter 51: Saṃdhyākāla-saṃhāra
Evening Withdrawal after Arjuna’s Counter-Advance
त॑ विसंज्ञं विमनसं त्वरमाणस्तु सारथि: । अपोवाह न सम्भ्रान्त: सर्वलोकस्य पश्यत:,उसे अचेत और अनमना देख सारथि तनिक भी घबराहटमें न पड़कर अत्यन्त उतावलीके साथ सबके देखते-देखते रणभूमिसे दूर हटा ले गया
taṁ visaṁjñaṁ vimanasaṁ tvaramāṇas tu sārathiḥ | apovāha na sambhrāntaḥ sarvalokasya paśyataḥ ||
ସଞ୍ଜୟ କହିଲେ—ତାଙ୍କୁ ଅଚେତ ଓ ବିମନ ଦେଖି ସାରଥି ଅଳ୍ପମାତ୍ରେ ମଧ୍ୟ ଭ୍ରମିତ ହେଲେ ନାହିଁ; ସେ ତ୍ୱରାନ୍ୱିତ ହୋଇ, ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କ ଦୃଷ୍ଟି ସାମ୍ନାରେ, ତାଙ୍କୁ ରଣଭୂମିରୁ ଦୂରେ ନେଇଗଲେ॥
संजय उवाच
Steadiness (asambhrama) in crisis is a form of dharma: one should perform one’s role with clarity and courage, protecting life and acting decisively even under public pressure.
A warrior (referred to as “him”) has become unconscious and dispirited; the charioteer, remaining calm, quickly removes him from the battlefield while everyone watches.
