Shloka 18
अदूरात् तु ततस्तेषां ब्रह्म॒दत्तवरं सर: । हताहता वै तत्रैते जीवन्त्याप्लुत्य दानवा:
adūrāt tu tatas teṣāṃ brahmadattavaraṃ saraḥ | hatāhatā vai tatraite jīvanty āplutya dānavāḥ ||
离他们不远有一座湖，曾蒙梵天（Brahmā）赐下恩许。在那里，达那婆们——纵使一次又一次被击倒——只要投入湖水中浸没，便能复得生命。因此，每当战场上有人倒下，其余同伴便将其抬起掷入湖中；一经没入水里，立刻复苏，再度起身。

The verse highlights how extraordinary boons can suspend ordinary consequences (like death in battle), creating moral and strategic complications; it implicitly warns that power granted by divine favor can prolong conflict and intensify violence rather than resolve it.
Bhīṣma describes a nearby lake endowed with Brahmā’s boon: Dānavas who are killed are carried by their companions to the lake, and by immersing in it they revive, returning to the fight.
