द्रोणपर्व — पञ्चदशोऽध्यायः (Droṇa Parva, Chapter 15): युधिष्ठिर-रक्षा तथा अर्जुनस्य शरवृष्टिः
क्षीबवद् विह्नललो वीरो निमेषात् पुनरुत्थित: । भीमो<पि सुमहाबाहुर्गदापाणिरदृश्यत
kṣībavad vihvalalo vīro nimeṣāt punar utthitaḥ | bhīmo 'pi sumahābāhur gadāpāṇir adṛśyata ||
سنجے نے کہا—وہ سورما نشے میں ڈگمگاتے ہوئے کی طرح مضطرب تھا، مگر پلک جھپکتے ہی پھر اٹھ کھڑا ہوا۔ تب مہاباہو بھیم بھی گدا ہاتھ میں لیے دکھائی دیا۔
संजय उवाच
Even when shaken or momentarily overwhelmed, a warrior committed to dharma regains composure quickly and returns to rightful duty; steadiness after disorientation is portrayed as a mark of strength.
Sañjaya describes a rapid recovery on the battlefield: a hero who had become unsteady like an intoxicated person rises again in an instant, and Bhīma is then seen ready with his mace, indicating renewed readiness to fight.
