भीष्मस्य शरशय्या-प्राप्तिः
Bhīṣma’s Fall to the Arrow-Bed
भूरिश्रवाभ्ययात् तूर्ण तिष्ठ तिषछ्ेति चाब्रवीत् | इसी तरह महारथी भीष्मकी ओर आते हुए भीमसेनपर भूरिश्रवाने तुरंत आक्रमण किया और कहा--'खड़ा रह, खड़ा रह”
bhūriśravābhyayāt tūrṇaṃ tiṣṭha tiṣṭheti cābravīt |
Wika ni Sañjaya: Si Bhūriśravā, sumugod nang ubod-bilis, ay agad na sinalakay si Bhīmasena at sumigaw, “Tumindig! Tumindig!”—isang hamon sa larangan ng digmaan na hudyat ng agarang sagupaan at ng matibay na pasyang harapin nang tuwiran ang kalaban sa gitna ng banggaan ng mga dakilang mandirigma.

The verse highlights the kṣatriya ethos of direct confrontation in war: a warrior openly challenges an opponent to stand and face combat, emphasizing courage, resolve, and the public accountability of one’s martial action.
Sañjaya narrates that Bhūriśravā rapidly advances and attacks Bhīmasena, calling out “Stand! Stand!”—a conventional war-cry that marks the start of an immediate duel-like engagement within the broader battle.
