Śalya–Bhīma Gadā-saṃnipāta and Śalya’s Bāṇa-jāla against Yudhiṣṭhira

Book 9, Chapter 11

स भिजन्नमर्मा रुधिरं वमन्‌ वित्रस्तमानस:

sa bhijannamarmā rudhiraṃ vaman vitrastamānasaḥ

سنجے نے کہا—اس کے مَرمّ (حیاتی) مقامات چکناچور ہو گئے؛ وہ خون اُگلتا رہا اور خوف سے اس کا دل دہل گیا، یوں وہ نہایت شدید طور پر زخمی ہو گیا۔ یہ منظر بتاتا ہے کہ جنگ کی درندگی کس تیزی سے بڑے سے بڑے بہادر کو بھی بے بسی کی اذیت میں گرا دیتی ہے۔

Educational Q&A

The verse underscores the stark ethical reality of war: bodily power and pride collapse instantly when vital points are struck, revealing the fragility of life and the heavy cost that adharma-driven violence exacts on all involved.

Sañjaya describes a warrior (implied by context) who has been grievously wounded—his vital points shattered—so that he vomits blood and becomes mentally terrified, indicating a decisive, debilitating injury on the battlefield.
