Duryodhana’s Anxiety, Bhīṣma’s Reassurance, and Renewed Mobilization (दुर्योधनचिन्ता–भीष्मप्रत्याश्वासन–सेनानिर्गमनम्)
तब कृपाचार्य सब सैनिकोंके देखते-देखते लक्ष्मणको अपने रथपर बिठाकर युद्धभूमिमें वहाँसे अन्यत्र हटा ले गये ।।
tataḥ samākule tasmin vartamāne mahābhaye | abhyadravaj jighāṃsantaḥ parasparavadha-eṣiṇaḥ ||
三阇耶说道:随后,在众军注视之下,克利帕阿阇梨将罗叉摩那扶上自己的战车,带离战场,转往别处。继而,当那一处陷入混乱与大恐怖之时,诸勇士——各怀诛灭敌方之心,求彼此毁灭——便相向奔突,投入相互屠戮之中。
संजय उवाच
When fear and confusion dominate, the moral and strategic restraints that should govern warfare collapse, and violence escalates into reciprocal destruction. The verse highlights the ethical danger of letting hatred and panic replace discernment.
Sañjaya describes a moment in the battle when the field becomes chaotic and terrifying; warriors on both sides, driven by the desire to kill, charge at one another seeking mutual slaughter.
