Shloka 5
बभ्रुवाहन-धनंजययोः संग्रामः
Babhruvāhana and Dhanaṃjaya’s engagement at Maṇipūra
तिष्ठ ध्वं युद्धमनसो दर्प शमयितास्मि व: । एतावदुक्त्वा कौरव्यो रोषाद् गाण्डीवभूत् तदा
tiṣṭha dhvaṁ yuddhamanasaḥ darpaṁ śamayitāsmi vaḥ | etāvad uktvā kauravyo roṣād gāṇḍīvabhūt tadā |
毗湿摩波耶那说：“你们立定不移，心志尽系战斗；我必平息你们的狂傲。”言毕，俱卢王子怒火上涌，执起甘狄婆弓。然而当他直面敌阵时，阿周那忆起长兄达摩罗阇的训诫：求胜的刹帝利不当屠戮已被制伏之人，却仍须使其败服。念及此言，这位人中雄杰沉思如何在取胜之际不违正法。

Educational Q&A
