अथोपयातत्त्वरितो दिदृक्षु- मन्त्रौषधीभिर्निरुजो विशल्य:

athopayāt tvarito didṛkṣu-

mantrauṣadhībhir nirujo viśalyaḥ

Disse Sañjaya: Então ele avançou apressado, ansioso por vê-lo—agora livre da dor e com a flecha extraída, restaurado por mantras e ervas curativas. O verso ressalta como, mesmo em meio à brutalidade da guerra, o cuidado, o conhecimento e a ajuda oportuna podem, por um instante, resgatar um guerreiro ferido do sofrimento.

Educational Q&A

Even in a setting governed by violence and duty, the tradition affirms the ethical value of relieving suffering: knowledge (mantra) and practical care (medicine) are portrayed as restoring wholeness and dignity to the wounded.

Sañjaya reports that someone quickly approaches, eager to see a warrior who has been made pain-free and had the embedded shaft removed through the use of mantras and medicinal herbs.
