भीष्म-युधिष्ठिर-संमर्दः
Bhīṣma’s Pressure on Yudhiṣṭhira; Śikhaṇḍī’s Approach; Evening Withdrawal
स गाढविद्धो व्यथितो भीमसेनेन संयुगे । निषसाद रथोपस्थे राजन् दुर्योधनस्तदा,नरेश्वर! भीमसेनने उस युद्धमें दुर्योधनको बहुत घायल कर दिया था। अत: उस समय वह व्यथासे व्याकुल होकर रथके पिछले भागमें जा बैठा
sa gāḍha-viddho vyathito bhīmasenena saṁyuge | niṣasāda rathopasthe rājan duryodhanas tadā ||
Wika ni Sañjaya: O Hari, malubhang nasugatan at nayanig ni Bhīmasena sa gitna ng labanan, si Duryodhana ay napaupo at bumagsak sa hulihang bahagi ng kanyang karwahe noon.
संजय उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical reality that violence and unjust ambition (adharma) carry consequences: even powerful rulers become vulnerable, and the battlefield exposes the fragility behind pride.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Bhīma has grievously wounded Duryodhana in combat, and Duryodhana, overwhelmed by pain, sits down at the back of his chariot.
