भीमसेनस्य बहुमहारथसंयुगः
Bhīmasena’s Engagement with Multiple Mahārathas
शरवर्षेण महता न प्राज्ञायत भारत । भारत! एक ही क्षणमें बाणोंकी उस भारी वर्षाके कारण सारथि और घोड़ोंसहित उनका वह रथ ऐसा अदृश्य हो गया कि उसका कुछ पता ही नहीं चलता था ।।
śaravarṣeṇa mahatā na prājñāyata bhārata | vāsudevas tv asambhrānto dhairyam āsthāya satvaraḥ ||
Wika ni Sañjaya: O Bhārata, dahil sa napakalakas na ulang ng mga palaso, wala nang maaninag; sa isang iglap, ang karwahe—kasama ang tagapagmaneho at mga kabayo—ay waring naging di-nakikita, na walang malinaw na bakas. Ngunit si Vāsudeva ay hindi natinag; agad niyang pinatatag ang sarili, kumapit sa tibay ng isip.

Educational Q&A
Even amid overwhelming violence and confusion, steadiness (dhairya) and clarity of mind are presented as the proper response; Vāsudeva embodies calm leadership rather than panic.
A massive barrage of arrows makes the chariot—along with its driver and horses—seem to vanish from sight; despite the chaos, Vāsudeva remains composed and acts swiftly.
