Arjuna’s Advance toward Bhīṣma; The Gāṇḍīva’s Signal and the Armies’ Convergence (भीष्माभिमुखगमनम् — गाण्डीवनिर्घोष-ध्वजवर्णनम्)
यथा प्राग्र्यान् यथा ज्येष्ठान् यथा शूरांश्व संगतान् । निपातयत्युग्रधन्वा त॑ प्रगृूह्लीत माचिरम्
sañjaya uvāca | yathā prāgryān yathā jyeṣṭhān yathā śūrāṃś ca saṃgatān | nipātayaty ugradhanvā taṃ pragṛhṇīta mā ciram | tad-anantaraṃ śāntanunandano bhīṣmaḥ sarvān mahārathīn uvāca— ‘eṣa bhīmasenaḥ raṇe kruddhaḥ samāgatān prāgryān jyeṣṭhān śūrāṃś ca dhṛtarāṣṭraputrān nipātayati; ataḥ sarve yūyaṃ saṃhatā enam āśu vaśaṃ nayata’ iti |
三阇耶说道：“那凶猛的弓手正击倒最前列者、长老与聚集的英雄之时，你们当即刻制止他，勿得迟延。” 随后，善檀奴之子毗湿摩又对诸大车战士说道：“此毗摩塞那在战阵中怒不可遏，正斩落持国之子——那些最杰出、最年长、最英勇、前来与他相对的战士。故你们众人须合力，速速将他控制住。”

Educational Q&A
Even in a dharma-framed war, uncontrolled fury becomes a strategic and ethical crisis; leadership responds by urging coordinated restraint and disciplined action rather than panic or isolated heroics.
Sañjaya reports that Bhīma, enraged, is cutting down prominent Kaurava fighters. Bhīṣma then instructs the assembled mahārathīs to unite and quickly subdue or check Bhīma’s onslaught.
