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 ||
Sañjaya disse: Vendo-o inconsciente e abatido, o cocheiro — sem o menor pânico — afastou-o rapidamente do campo de batalha, à vista de todos. A cena ressalta a disciplina do dever na guerra: mesmo sob o olhar público e em meio à crise, é preciso agir com firmeza e lucidez para proteger a vida e cumprir o próprio papel.

Educational Q&A
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.
