Arjuna’s Himalayan Departure and the Commencement of Severe Tapas
Janamejaya’s Inquiry; Sages Approach Śiva
स मुहूर्त तथा भूत्वा सचेता: पुनरुत्थितः । रुधिरेणाप्लुताड़स्तु पाण्डवो भृशदु:खित:,दो घड़ीतक उसी अवस्थामें पड़े रहनेके पश्चात् जब अर्जुनको चेत हुआ, तब वे उठकर खड़े हो गये। उस समय उनका सारा शरीर खूनसे लथपथ हो रहा था और वे बहुत दुःखी हो गये थे
sa muhūrtaṃ tathā bhūtvā sacetāḥ punar utthitaḥ | rudhireṇāplutāṅgas tu pāṇḍavo bhṛśa-duḥkhitaḥ ||
他在那般境地躺了片刻,阿周那方才苏醒,起身而立。此时这位般度之子浑身浴血,悲苦之情沉重压来。
किरयात उवाच
The verse highlights endurance under affliction: even when physically broken and emotionally overwhelmed, the dharmic agent must recover composure and stand up again. It frames suffering not as an endpoint but as a testing ground for resolve and right action.
Arjuna has been struck down or rendered helpless for a time. After a brief interval he regains consciousness, rises, and is seen covered in blood and deeply distressed—signaling the severity of the encounter and setting up his next response.
