तस्मिंस्तथा वर्तमाने संग्रामे लोमहर्षणे । भगदत्तो महेष्वासो भीमसेनमथाद्रवत्,जब इस प्रकार रोंगटे खड़े कर देनेवाला भयंकर संग्राम चल रहा था, उसी समय महाधनुर्धर भगदत्तने भीमसेनपर धावा किया
tasmiṁs tathā vartamāne saṅgrāme lomaharṣaṇe | bhagadatto maheṣvāso bhīmasenam athādravat ||
三阇耶说道：当这令人毛骨悚然的惨烈战斗正如此狂暴进行之时，大弓手薄伽达多便径直冲向毗摩塞那。此偈凸显战争不息的势头——个人勇武与武士之法的职责，驱使人在可怖的群体冲突中骤然相遇、决然对决。

The verse highlights the inexorable force of dharma-bound warfare: in the midst of a terrifying battlefield, warriors act decisively according to their martial role. It invites reflection on how duty, valor, and the momentum of conflict can propel individuals into direct confrontation, even when the wider scene is dreadful.
Sañjaya describes the battle as intensely frightening and ongoing; at that moment, Bhagadatta—renowned as a great archer—rushes forward to engage Bhīmasena, signaling an imminent duel or focused clash within the larger war.
