Adhyaya 11 — Draupadī’s Grief, Demand for Justice, and Bhīma’s Departure
सा समाश्चासिता तेन भीमसेनेन भामिनी । उसे गिरी हुई देख क्रोधमें भरे हुए सत्यपराक्रमी भीमसेनने उछलकर दोनों बाँहोंसे उसको उठा लिया और उस मानिनी पत्नीको धीरज बँधाया
sā samāśvāsitā tena bhīmasenena bhāminī |
Vaiśampāyana nói: Người phụ nữ kiêu hãnh ấy được Bhīmasena vỗ về. Thấy nàng ngã quỵ, Bhīmasena—dũng lực chân thật, không hề lay chuyển, lòng đầy phẫn nộ—liền lao tới, dùng cả hai tay nâng nàng dậy, rồi lấy lời trấn an mà giữ vững tinh thần cho người vợ cao quý của mình.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Even in the aftermath of war and rage, dharma includes protecting the vulnerable and restoring courage. Bhīma’s strength is shown not only in battle but in compassionate support—an ethical reminder that power should serve care and responsibility.
The narrator describes Bhīmasena seeing his wife (referred to as bhāminī) fallen in distress. Enraged yet steadfast, he quickly lifts her with both arms and consoles her, helping her regain composure amid the traumatic events of the Sauptika Parva.
