Shloka 18
कृष्णोपदेशः, अर्जुनस्य क्षमा-याचनम्, कर्णवध-अनुज्ञा
Krishna’s Counsel, Arjuna’s Apology, and Authorization for Karṇa’s Slaying
तेषां सुलुलिते सैन्ये पुनर्भीमो महाबल:
teṣāṃ sululite sainye punar bhīmo mahābalaḥ
三阇耶说道：当他们的军阵被搅乱而四散之时，力大无穷的毗摩又一次挺身向前，重振攻势。此句表明：纵在战争的身心与道义的混乱之中，不屈的勇猛仍能再度压倒一切，使争斗与两军所承受的后果愈加惨烈。

The verse highlights the relentless momentum of warfare: once an opposing force is disordered, a powerful warrior may press the advantage. Ethically, it reflects the grim logic of kṣatriya battle—valor and tactical pressure operate within a larger tragedy where disorder multiplies suffering.
Sañjaya reports that the enemy host has become confused and scattered; at that moment Bhīma, famed for immense strength, renews his advance/assault, indicating a fresh surge of Pandava aggression in the ongoing battle.
