Bhagadattā’s Deployment Against Ghaṭotkaca; Elephant-Corps Escalation

Devanagari script

बह्बाशिनं ततो भीम: शरेणानतपर्वणा । प्रेषयामास संक़रुद्धो यमस्य सदन प्रति,इसके बाद क्रोधमें भरे हुए भीमसेनने झुकी हुई गाँठवाले बाणसे मारकर बह्लाशीको यमलोक भेज दिया

Transliteration

bahvāśinaṃ tato bhīmaḥ śareṇānataparvaṇā | preṣayāmāsa saṃkruddho yamasya sadanaṃ prati ||

Translation

Disse Sañjaya: Então Bhīma, inflamado de ira, atingiu Bahvāśin com uma flecha de juntas recurvadas e o despachou rumo à morada de Yama. Na ética brutal do dever no campo de batalha, o ato não é pintado como crueldade pessoal, mas como a pronta execução do papel do guerreiro sob a lei inexorável da morte que governa a guerra.
