अध्याय ८८ — घटोत्कच-दुर्योधनयुद्धवर्णनम्
Ghaṭotkaca–Duryodhana Engagement
भीमो5प्यथैनं सहसा विनद्य प्रत्युद्ययौ गदया तर्जयान:,तब भीमसेन भी सहसा सिंहनाद करके गदाद्वारा गर्जन-तर्जन करते हुए जयद्रथकी ओर बढ़े
sañjaya uvāca |
bhīmo 'py athainaṃ sahasā vinadya pratyudyayau gadayā tarjayān |
สัญชัยกล่าวว่า—ครั้งนั้นภีมะก็พลันเปล่งสิงหนาท พุ่งเข้าประจัญหน้า ชูกระบองพร้อมคำข่มขู่ดุดัน
संजय उवाच
The verse highlights the kṣatriya ideal of direct confrontation in battle: a warrior openly declares intent (roar/challenge) and advances with courage, making the conflict explicit rather than covert.
Sañjaya reports that Bhīma, with a sudden lion-like roar, moves forward to meet the opponent, wielding his mace and issuing threats—signaling the start of an intense face-to-face engagement.
