Shloka 137
अर्जुनस्य शीघ्रप्रयाणं भीम-शकुनियुद्धं च
Arjuna’s Rapid Advance and the Bhīma–Śakuni Encounter
कच्चित् कुशलिनौ बाहू मुष्टिवा न व्यशीर्यत । उदीर्यमाणं हि रणे पश्यामि द्रौणिमाहवे
kaccit kuśalinau bāhū muṣṭī vā na vyaśīryata | udīryamāṇaṃ hi raṇe paśyāmi drauṇim āhave ||
三阇耶说道：“你的双臂仍安好而稳健吗？你紧握的拳头未曾松弛吗？因为在这战场上，我看见德罗纳之子阿湿婆他曼在与你交战时正猛然推进、势如潮涌。”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the warrior-ethic of steadiness under pressure: strength is not merely physical (arms and grip) but also resolve. It frames combat as a test of endurance and composure when a formidable opponent advances.
Sañjaya, reporting the battle, expresses anxious concern and points out that Aśvatthāman (Drauṇi) is pressing forward in the fight. The line functions as a vivid battlefield update emphasizing the intensity of the encounter.
