Shloka 27
इदं च भूयो वक्ष्यामि सभामध्ये बृहद् वच: । सत्य॑ं देवा: करिष्यन्ति यन्नो युद्ध भविष्यति
idaṃ ca bhūyo vakṣyāmi sabhāmadhye bṛhad vacaḥ | satyaṃ devāḥ kariṣyanti yan no yuddhaṃ bhaviṣyati ||
At muli, sa gitna ng kapulungang ito, ipahahayag ko ang isang mabigat na salita: gagawin ng mga diyos na magkatotoo ang aking sinabi—kapag sumiklab ang digmaan sa pagitan naming mga Kaurava at mga Pāṇḍava.
भीमसेन उवाच
Educational Q&A
A public vow grounded in satya (truth) and witnessed by the gods is presented as morally binding; Bhīma frames future retributive action as the inevitable consequence of adharma, aligning personal resolve with a larger ethical order.
In the royal assembly during the dice-hall crisis, Bhīma speaks again and makes a solemn, weighty declaration that the gods will confirm his words: war will occur between the Kauravas and Pāṇḍavas, and he will fulfill his vowed retaliation.
