भीष्मपर्व — अध्याय ११०: पार्थभीमयोः प्रहारः तथा भीष्माभिमुखं संग्रामविस्तारः
Arjuna and Bhima’s pressure; escalation toward Bhishma
अनुज्ञातं तु पार्थेन मया कार्य न संशय: । अथवा फाल्गुनस्यैष भार: परिमितो रणे,“अर्जुनने जिस बातके लिये प्रतिज्ञा की हो, उसकी पूर्ति करना मेरा कर्तव्य है, इसमें संशय नहीं है अथवा रणक्षेत्रमें अर्जुनके लिये यह बहुत थोड़ा भार है
anujñātaṃ tu pārthena mayā kāryaṃ na saṃśayaḥ | athavā phālgunasya eṣa bhāraḥ parimito raṇe ||
Wika ni Sañjaya: “Yamang pinahintulutan na ni Pārtha (Arjuna), tungkulin kong kumilos—walang alinlangan. O sa halip, sa larangan ng digmaan, ang pasaning ito ay munting bigat lamang para kay Phālguna (Arjuna).”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharma as disciplined action: once rightful permission is given and a vow or obligation is in view, one should carry out one’s duty without doubt; for a true warrior like Arjuna, such responsibility is not overwhelming.
Sañjaya reports a moment of resolve: with Arjuna’s consent, he affirms that the required action must be done, and he underscores Arjuna’s capacity—implying that the task at hand is a manageable burden for him amid the battle.
