Śalya-parva Adhyāya 26 — Duryodhana’s remnant formation and rapid engagements
दंशितान् प्रतिजग्राह भीमसेन: प्रतापवान् । मरनेसे बचे हुए सैन्यसमूहसे निकलकर शीघ्रतापूर्वक अपने ऊपर आक्रमण करते हुए उन कवचधारी योद्धाओंको प्रतापी भीमसेनने आगे बढ़नेसे रोक दिया
sañjaya uvāca | daṃśitān pratijagrāha bhīmasenaḥ pratāpavān | maraṇeṣv avasiṣṭaṃ sainyasamūhaṃ niryāntaṃ śīghrataraṃ svopari praharantam āgatān kavacadhāriṇaḥ yodhān pratāpī bhīmasenaḥ purato gatim avārayat |
三阇耶说道：威猛的毗摩塞那迎上披甲的战士。那些从屠戮中侥幸生还者自残余军阵中冲出，疾驰而来欲击毗摩；而英勇的毗摩遏止其锋，阻断其进。此景凸显战场职责的阴冷法则：在无休止的报复攻势中，以勇气守护己方。
