भीमसेनस्य बहुमहारथसंयुगः
Bhīmasena’s Engagement with Multiple Mahārathas
तौ रथस्थौ नरव्याप्रौ भीष्म: शान्तनव: पुन:
tau rathasthau naravyāprāu bhīṣmaḥ śāntanavaḥ punaḥ
三阇耶说道：那两位雄杰立于战车之上——毗湿摩，善檀奴之子——又一次显现于阵前（或再度投入交锋）。此句强调毗湿摩在战场上反复回到中心位置：纵使亲族相残的道德重负沉如山，他仍以职责之名展露不可撼动的威势。

Educational Q&A
Even when war is morally grievous, the epic repeatedly frames Bhīṣma as embodying the burden of dharma-as-duty: an elder warrior returning ‘again’ to the field, bound by vows, allegiance, and the kṣatriya code, illustrating how righteousness in the Mahābhārata often involves painful, imperfect obligations rather than simple moral choices.
Sañjaya reports a battlefield moment: two heroic chariot-borne warriors are being described, with special emphasis on Bhīṣma—identified by his lineage as Śāntanu’s son—reappearing or re-engaging in the action, signaling his continued central role in the fighting.
