Arjuna–Bhīṣma Strategic Engagement and Mutual Arrow-Interdiction (भीष्मार्जुनसमागमः)
तस्मिन् समुत्थिते शब्दे तुमुले लोमहर्षणे । भीमसेनो महाबाहु: प्राणदद् गोवृषो यथा,उस रोमांचकारी भयंकर शब्दके प्रकट होते ही महाबाहु भीमसेन साँड़की भाँति गर्जने लगे
tasmin samutthite śabde tumule lomaharṣaṇe | bhīmaseno mahābāhuḥ prāṇadad govṛṣo yathā ||
Санджая сказал: Едва поднялся тот буйный, волос дыбом ставящий гул, как Бхимасена, могучерукий, взревел, словно бык среди стада, — отвечая ужасу поля брани бесстрашной силой и решимостью.

Educational Q&A
In the midst of fear-inducing chaos, a warrior grounded in kṣatriya resolve responds with courage rather than panic; Bhīma’s roar symbolizes steadiness, morale, and readiness to uphold duty in battle.
A terrifying, tumultuous sound rises on the battlefield; immediately Bhīmasena, famed for strength, bellows like a powerful bull—an emphatic response that signals his fearlessness and challenges the opposing side.
