भीमसेनस्य बहुमहारथसंयुगः
Bhīmasena’s Engagement with Multiple Mahārathas
निजग्राह हृषीकेशं कथंचिद् दशमे पदे । तब शत्रुवीरोंका संहार करनेवाले अर्जुनने बलपूर्वक भगवान्के चरणोंको पकड़ लिया और इस प्रकार दसवें कदमतक जाते-जाते वे किसी प्रकार हृषीकेशको रोकनेमें सफल हो सके
sañjaya uvāca | nijagrāha hṛṣīkeśaṃ kathaṃcid daśame pade |
三阇耶说道：阿周那，这位强大的敌将屠戮者，强行抓住了赫利湿迦耶沙（奎师那），紧紧抱住主的双足。于是，纵然奎师那已迈至第十步，阿周那仍设法将他拦住。此景彰显战场上护持正法的迫切：为阻止一场可能酿成大祸的举动，信徒以绝望之情恳求神圣的御者回归克制与正行。

Educational Q&A
Even amid righteous warfare, moral boundaries and self-restraint remain crucial; when a grave transgression is imminent, one must urgently intervene. Arjuna’s act also reflects devotional dependence—appealing to the divine guide to return to measured, dharmic conduct.
Sañjaya reports that Kṛṣṇa (Hṛṣīkeśa) has moved forward in anger or resolve, and Arjuna physically restrains him by seizing him and holding his feet, managing to stop him as he reaches the tenth step.
