भीष्मपर्व — अध्याय ११०: पार्थभीमयोः प्रहारः तथा भीष्माभिमुखं संग्रामविस्तारः
Arjuna and Bhima’s pressure; escalation toward Bhishma
भीष्मस्य समरे कर्म चिन्तयानास्तु पाण्डवा: | नालभन्त तदा शान्तिं भीष्मबाणप्रपीडिता:,पाण्डव भीष्मके बाणोंसे अत्यन्त पीड़ित हो रहे थे। उन्हें समरांगणमें भीष्मके पराक्रमका चिन्तन करके तनिक भी शान्ति नहीं मिलती थी
sañjaya uvāca | bhīṣmasya samare karma cintayānās tu pāṇḍavāḥ | nālabhanta tadā śāntiṃ bhīṣmabāṇaprapīḍitāḥ ||
三阇耶说道:般度五子被毗湿摩之箭所折磨,仍不断思量他在战场上的英勇功业;而在那时,他们丝毫不得安宁。

Even when one fights for a just cause, confronting a revered elder who is steadfast in his own dharma can produce inner turmoil; the verse highlights how the ethical complexity of war manifests as mental unrest alongside physical pain.
During the Kurukṣetra war, Bhīṣma’s fierce archery overwhelms the Pāṇḍavas. As they contemplate his battlefield exploits, they remain distressed and cannot regain composure.
