Shloka 65
निविष्टान् पाण्डवांश्वैव प्रीयमाणान् महारथान् । भीष्मस्य पतने हृष्टानुपगम्य महाबल:
niviṣṭān pāṇḍavāṃś caiva prīyamāṇān mahārathān | bhīṣmasya patane hṛṣṭān upagamya mahābalaḥ ||
پانڈوؤں کے مہارَتھی، جو بھیشم کے گرنے پر خوش ہو کر آرام سے بیٹھے تھے اور مسرت میں بھرے ہوئے تھے، اُن کے پاس مہابلی (شری کرشن) آ پہنچے۔

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical tension in dharmayuddha: strategic success may bring joy, yet one must remain mindful of the moral weight of bringing down a revered elder like Bhīṣma. It points toward disciplined conduct after victory—acting at the proper time and with dharmic awareness rather than mere triumphalism.
After Bhīṣma has fallen, the Pāṇḍava mahārathas are seated and pleased. The mighty Kṛṣṇa approaches them at an appropriate moment, setting up the ensuing counsel to Yudhiṣṭhira and the next phase of action following Bhīṣma’s fall.
