Shloka 31
Adhyāya 78 — Bhīṣma’s Advance, Duryodhana’s Rally, and Concurrent Duels (भीष्मस्याभ्युद्यमः, दुर्योधनस्योत्साहवचनम्, विविधयुद्धवर्णनम्)
दृढाहतस्ततो भीमो भारद्वाजस्य संयुगे । सारथिं प्रेषयामास यमस्य सदन प्रति,तब युद्धमें द्रोणाचार्यके द्वारा अत्यन्त आहत होकर भीमसेनने उनके सारथिको यमलोक भेज दिया
dṛḍhāhatas tato bhīmo bhāradvājasya saṃyuge | sārathiṃ preṣayāmāsa yamasya sadanaṃ prati ||
三阇耶说道：虽在战斗中被婆罗陀婆阇之子（德罗那阿阇梨）重创，毗摩仍不动摇，将德罗那的御者送往阎摩之所。此举昭示战争那凶猛而不容退让的势头：即便重伤，也不能阻断战士的决心。

The verse underscores the harsh ethic of battlefield duty (kṣatriya-dharma): even when gravely wounded, a warrior may continue to act decisively. It also hints at the moral weight of war—actions swiftly lead to death and judgment (symbolized by Yama’s abode).
During the Kurukṣetra battle, Droṇācārya strikes Bhīma severely. Despite this, Bhīma retaliates with force and kills (or causes the death of) Droṇa’s charioteer, poetically described as sending him to Yama’s dwelling.
