Shloka 36
बलात् संस्तम्भयस्वैनं यत्रैषा भिद्यते चमू: । न हि भीष्मशरानन्य: सोढुमुत्सहते विभो
balāt saṁstambhayasvainaṁ yatraiṣā bhidyate camūḥ | na hi bhīṣmaśarān anyaḥ soḍhum utsahate vibho ||
Санджая сказал: «Ступай туда, где это войско сокрушается, и одной лишь силой прижми его так, чтобы он не мог ни продвинуться вперед, ни отступить. О могучий, кроме тебя никто не в силах вынести удар стрел Бхишмы».

Educational Q&A
In the ethics of epic warfare, overwhelming force must be met with disciplined strategy and personal steadiness: when a single warrior’s prowess devastates the ranks, the response is to contain him decisively, and the capacity to endure suffering becomes a key measure of leadership and martial responsibility.
Sanjaya reports urgent battlefield counsel: at the spot where the army is being broken by the onslaught, the addressed hero is told to rush there and forcibly immobilize the attacker; Sanjaya adds that only this person has the strength to withstand Bhishma’s deadly volleys.
