Shloka 58
द्विषतो भीमसेनस्य क्रुद्धस्य वशमेष्यथ । पितामहैराचरितं न धर्म हातुमरहथ,“हमारा शत्रु भीमसेन क्रोधमें भरा हुआ है। यदि भागोगे तो उसके वशमें पड़कर मारे जाओगे; अतः अपने बाप-दादोंके द्वारा आचरणमें लाये हुए क्षत्रिय-धर्मका परित्याग न करो
sañjaya uvāca | dviṣato bhīmasenasya kruddhasya vaśam eṣyatha | pitāmahair ācaritaṃ na dharmaṃ hātum arhatha ||
Sinabi ni Sañjaya: “Si Bhīmasena, ang kaaway ninyo, ay naglalagablab sa galit. Kapag tumakas kayo, mahuhulog kayo sa kanyang kapangyarihan at mapapatay. Kaya huwag ninyong talikuran ang kṣatriya-dharma na isinabuhay at itinaguyod ng inyong mga ninuno.”

Educational Q&A
One should not abandon one’s rightful duty—here, the warrior’s code of standing firm in battle—especially when flight leads to greater danger and dishonor; ancestral standards of conduct are invoked as an ethical anchor.
Sañjaya reports a warning addressed to warriors facing Bhīma: since Bhīma is enraged, retreat will only place them under his control and result in death; they are urged to hold their ground and maintain kṣatriya-dharma.
