भीष्म–जामदग्न्यसंवादः (Amba-prasaṅga and Kurukṣetra Dvandva Declaration) / Bhishma–Jamadagnya Dialogue
वे बाण वायुद्वारा उड़ाये हुए सर्पोकी भाँति परशुरामजीके शरीरमें धँसकर खून बहाते हुए चल दिये ।।
kṣata-jokṣita-sarvāṅgaḥ kṣaran sa rudhiraṃ raṇe | babhau rāmas tadā rājan merur dhātum ivotsṛjan ||
那些箭被风搅动，宛如群蛇，深深刺入帕拉舒罗摩的身躯，令鲜血奔流。大王啊，那时罗摩（帕拉舒罗摩）遍体创伤、浑身浴血；然而在战场上他却愈显光耀——如同雨季的须弥山倾泻夹杂矿色的溪流——他四肢百骸亦如此涌出血流。

The verse highlights heroic steadfastness: even when grievously wounded and bleeding, a warrior may remain unwavering and thereby appear ‘splendid’ in resolve. It also underscores the Mahābhārata’s sober realism—glory in war is inseparable from suffering and bloodshed.
Paraśurāma has been struck by arrows; his whole body is cut and soaked in blood, which streams from his limbs on the battlefield. The poet compares this sight to Mount Meru in the rains, sending down mineral-tinted flows, to convey both the intensity of the wounds and his formidable presence.
