भीमसेनस्य बहुमहारथसंयुगः
Bhīmasena’s Engagement with Multiple Mahārathas
(अभवत्् परमप्रीतो ज्ञात्वा पार्थस्य विक्रमम् ।) न किंचिदुक्त्वा सक्रोध आरुरोह रथं पुन: । महामना अर्जुनका यह वचन सुनकर उनके पराक्रमको जानते हुए भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण मन-ही-मन अत्यन्त प्रसन्न हुए और ऊपरसे कुछ भी न बोलकर पुनः क्रोधपूर्वक ही रथपर जा बैठे
abhavat paramaprīto jñātvā pārthasya vikramam | na kiñcid uktvā sa-krodha ārurōha rathaṃ punaḥ |
Wika ni Sañjaya: Nang malaman ang lakas at giting ni Partha, si Krishna ay lubhang nalugod sa kalooban. Ngunit wala siyang sinabi nang malakas; muli siyang sumakay sa karwahe, at sa panlabas ay tila nananatili ang tindi ng galit—galit na nakatuon sa krisis ng dharma sa larangan ng digmaan, hindi kay Arjuna.
संजय उवाच
The verse highlights restrained leadership: Krishna feels deep approval upon recognizing Arjuna’s valor, yet he does not indulge in praise at that moment. His outward anger signals urgency and moral seriousness in a dharma-crisis, showing that strong emotion can be directed toward protecting righteousness while remaining inwardly clear and supportive.
Sanjaya reports that Krishna, having understood Arjuna’s prowess, becomes inwardly delighted. Still, he says nothing and returns to the chariot, appearing angry—reflecting the tense battlefield situation and the immediate need to act rather than speak.
