Shloka 28
विशोक उवाच कि भीम नैनं त्वमिहाशूणोषि विस्फारितं गाण्डिवस्यातिघोरम् । क्रुद्धेन पार्थेन विकृष्पतो$द्य कच्चिन्नेमौ तव कर्णों विनष्टी
Viśoka uvāca: ki bhīma nainaṃ tvam ihāśṛṇoṣi visphāritaṃ gāṇḍīvasyātighoram | kruddhena pārthena vikṛṣpato 'dya kaccin nemau tava karṇau vinaṣṭī ||
毗首迦说道：“毗摩啊，你难道听不见吗？今日忿怒的帕尔塔（阿周那）拉满并放出甘狄婆弓时，那极其可怖的轰鸣回响就在此处。莫非你的两只耳朵失灵了不成？”
विशोक उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights battlefield rhetoric as a moral-psychological test: a warrior is expected to remain alert and unshaken by fearsome signs (like the thunderous twang of a great bow). It underscores the kṣatriya ideal of steadiness and readiness in the face of an opponent’s formidable power.
Viśoka taunts or challenges Bhīma by pointing to the terrifying sound of Arjuna’s Gāṇḍīva being drawn in anger, implying that such a signal should be unmistakable on the battlefield. The remark functions as provocation and as a dramatic marker of Arjuna’s imminent action.
