Shloka 62
ततोअर्जुनो महाराज भीष्ममभ्यद्रवद् द्रुतम् । शिखण्डिनं पुरस्कृत्य ततो युद्धमवर्तत,महाराज! तब अर्जुनने शिखण्डीको आगे करके बड़े वेगसे भीष्मपर धावा किया। फिर तो भारी युद्ध छिड़ गया
tato 'rjuno mahārāja bhīṣmam abhyadravad drutam | śikhaṇḍinaṃ puraskṛtya tato yuddham avartata ||
ข้าแต่มหาราช ครั้นนั้นอรชุนยกศิขัณฑินไว้เบื้องหน้า แล้วพุ่งเข้าหาภีษมะโดยเร็ว จากนั้นศึกอันดุเดือดก็อุบัติขึ้น

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical tension in dharma-yuddha: even within rules and vows, warriors use strategy to meet a formidable opponent. Duty to one’s side and the larger course of justice is pursued through tactical means, raising questions about means versus ends in righteous war.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Arjuna rapidly advances on Bhīṣma, keeping Śikhaṇḍin in the forefront; this triggers an intense clash, marking a decisive escalation in the effort to neutralize Bhīṣma.
