Śaineya’s Breakthrough and Reunion with Arjuna (शैनेयस्य समागमः)
प्रतिलभ्य तत: संज्ञां भीमसेनो महाबल: । शक्ति जग्राह समरे हेमदण्डामयस्मयीम्,इसी बीचमें महाबली भीमसेनने सचेत होकर समरांगणमें सुवर्णमय दण्डसे विभूषित एक लोहेकी शक्ति हाथमें ले ली
pratilabhya tataḥ saṃjñāṃ bhīmaseno mahābalaḥ | śaktiṃ jagrāha samare hemadaṇḍām ayasmayīm ||
ਫਿਰ ਹੋਸ਼ ਵਿੱਚ ਆ ਕੇ ਮਹਾਬਲੀ ਭੀਮਸੇਨ ਨੇ ਰਣਭੂਮੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਸੁਨਹਿਰੀ ਡੰਡ ਨਾਲ ਸਜੀ ਲੋਹੇ ਦੀ ਸ਼ਕਤੀ ਹੱਥ ਵਿੱਚ ਫੜ ਲਈ।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights steadiness and resilience under crisis: a warrior who regains awareness must re-center himself and act according to duty (kṣatriya-dharma), using strength with discipline rather than rage.
After losing consciousness, Bhīma comes to his senses on the battlefield and immediately arms himself by taking up an iron śakti with a golden shaft, preparing to continue the fight.
