अर्जुनस्य शीघ्रप्रयाणं भीम-शकुनियुद्धं च
Arjuna’s Rapid Advance and the Bhīma–Śakuni Encounter
मही वियद् दिश: सर्वा: समुद्रा गिरयोडपि वा । स्फुटन्तीति जना जज्ञुः पार्थस्य तलनि:स्वनात्
sañjaya uvāca | mahī viyad diśaḥ sarvāḥ samudrā girayo 'pi vā | sphuṭantīti janā jajñuḥ pārthasya tala-niḥsvanāt |
三阇耶说道:听到帕尔塔(阿周那)双掌相击发出的尖厉爆响,人们竟以为大地、苍穹、四方诸界、诸海,乃至群山都在崩裂。
संजय उवाच
The verse highlights how inner resolve and disciplined martial energy can manifest outwardly as an awe-inspiring presence. In epic ethics, such power is not merely physical; it shapes morale and perception, reminding that courage and determination can ‘shake the world’ when aligned with one’s duty in war.
Sanjaya reports that Arjuna’s clapping produced such a thunderous sound that spectators imagined the very elements—earth, sky, directions, oceans, and mountains—were cracking. It is a poetic intensification to convey Arjuna’s formidable readiness and the battlefield’s charged atmosphere.
