भीमसेनस्य गदायुद्ध-प्रभावः
The Battlefield Impact of Bhīmasena’s Mace Combat
प्रणेदु: सर्वभूतानि बभूवुस्तिमिरा दिश: । इधर सहस्रों हाथी और सैकड़ों भूमिपाल अर्जुनके बाणोंके पथमें आकर किसी प्रकार आगे न बढ़ सके। समस्त प्राणी आर्तनाद करने लगे और सम्पूर्ण दिशाओंमें अन्धकार छा गया
praṇeduḥ sarvabhūtāni babhūvus timirā diśaḥ |
三阇耶说道:一切众生哀号呼喊,黑暗仿佛弥漫于四方。战阵之中,纵有千头战象、百位诸王,闯入阿周那箭矢所及之路,也再不能前进;他那如暴雨般的箭势遏止其锋,令战场化作惊惧与昏翳之境。

The verse highlights the pervasive suffering caused by warfare: when martial power is unleashed, its effects spread beyond combatants to ‘all beings,’ producing fear, confusion, and a moral atmosphere likened to darkness.
Sañjaya reports that Arjuna’s arrows create such devastation that masses of elephants and many kings cannot advance; the battlefield fills with cries of distress and the directions appear darkened—an image of chaos and overwhelming force.
