Arjuna’s Advance toward Bhīṣma; The Gāṇḍīva’s Signal and the Armies’ Convergence (भीष्माभिमुखगमनम् — गाण्डीवनिर्घोष-ध्वजवर्णनम्)

पुत्री ते दुर्मदौ राजन्ननयद्‌ यमसादनम्‌ | राजन! तत्पश्चात्‌ भीमसेनने हँसते हुए-से आपके दो पुत्र भीम और भीमरथको भी, जो युद्धमें उन्‍्मत्त होकर लड़नेवाले थे, यमलोक भेज दिया

putrī te durmadau rājann anayad yamasādanam | rājan tatpaścāt bhīmasenena haṃsatehuva-se āpake do putra bhīma aur bhīmarathako bhi, jo yuddhame unmatta hokar laṛanevāle the, yamaloka bhej diyā

三阇耶说道:大王啊,你那两位狂傲自负的儿子已被引往阎摩之所(死亡之境)。随后,大王啊,毗摩塞那几乎带着笑意,又将你的两子——毗摩与毗摩罗他——同样送入阎摩之界,因为他们在战场上因骄狂而如醉如狂地厮杀。

Educational Q&A

The verse highlights the ethical danger of durmada (pride-intoxication): when warriors fight in delusion and arrogance, they rush toward destruction. It frames death as a consequence that follows from unrighteous aggression and loss of self-control.

Sanjaya reports to King Dhritarashtra that Bhimasena has slain the king’s sons—described as arrogant and battle-maddened—sending them to Yama’s abode. The tone suggests Bhima’s overwhelming dominance, depicted as ‘almost laughing’ while dispatching them.
