भीमसेनस्य बहुमहारथसंयुगः
Bhīmasena’s Engagement with Multiple Mahārathas
ववर्ष शरवर्षेण मेघो वृष्ट्या यथाचलौ । पुरुषसिंह श्रीकृष्ण और अर्जुनको रथपर बैठे देख शान्तनुनन्दन भीष्मने पुनः उनपर बाणोंकी वर्षा आरम्भ कर दी, मानो मेघ दो पर्वतोंपर जलकी धारा गिरा रहा हो
vavarṣa śaravarṣeṇa megho vṛṣṭyā yathācalau |
三阇耶说道:善檀奴之子毗湿摩见“人中狮子”——圣奎师那——与阿周那同坐战车之上,便又向他们倾泻箭雨,宛如云霭将水瀑倾注于两座山岳。此偈凸显正义之战的无情激烈:坚毅的勇武遭逢坚毅的抵抗,战场遂成意志与职责的试炼之地。

The verse highlights the ethic of steadfastness in dharma-yuddha: even when facing revered opponents, a warrior committed to duty maintains unwavering effort. The simile of cloud and mountains frames endurance and resolve as central virtues amid conflict.
Sañjaya narrates that Bhīṣma, seeing Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna together on their chariot, renews his assault, releasing a dense barrage of arrows—likened to a cloud pouring rain upon two mountains.
