Dāna ethics, lawful wealth, and settling obligations
क्षिप्रमेव महाकायं वृत्रं दैत्यमपातयत् । ततो नाद: समभवत् पुनरेव समन्ततः
kṣipram eva mahākāyaṃ vṛtraṃ daityam apātayat | tato nādaḥ samabhavat punar eva samantataḥ ||
پل بھر میں اس نے دیو قامت دَیتیہ ورتَر کو گرا دیا۔ پھر چاروں طرف سے دوبارہ عظیم شور بلند ہوا۔
भीष्म उवाच
The verse highlights decisive action against destructive forces and the immediate, far-reaching consequences of a pivotal deed—symbolized by the fall of a mighty adversary and the ensuing universal tumult.
Bhīṣma narrates a moment where a gigantic Daitya named Vṛtra is swiftly felled; immediately afterward, a loud roar or tumult rises again from all directions, suggesting widespread reaction among surrounding beings or forces.
