Shloka 24

यस्य सम रथघोषेण समकम्पत मेदिनी । सपर्वतवना भीम सहस्थावरजड्मा,भीमसेन! जिसके रथकी घर्घराहटसे पर्वत, वन और चराचर प्राणियोंसहित सम्पूर्ण पृथ्वी काँप उठती थी, जिस महान्‌ भाग्यशाली पुत्रके उत्पन्न होनेपर माता कुन्तीका सारा शोक नष्ट हो गया था, वही तुम्हारा छोटा भाई अर्जुन आज अपनी दुरवस्थाके कारण मुझे शोकमग्न किये देता है

yasya sama-ratha-ghoṣeṇa sama-kampata medinī | sa-parvata-vanā bhīma saha-sthāvara-jaṅgamā || bhīmasena! yasya mahā-bhāgyavataḥ putrasya utpattau mātāḥ kuntyāḥ sarvaḥ śoko naṣṭaḥ | sa eva tava kaniyān bhrātā arjunaḥ adya sva-duravasthayā māṃ śoka-magnaṃ karoti ||

毗湿摩波耶那说道:“噢,毗摩!昔日那位战车轰鸣如雷、使大地连同群山森林、以及一切不动与一切有情都为之震颤的人;那位吉祥降生、令母亲昆蒂的忧苦尽皆消散的人——正是你的幼弟阿周那。如今他因眼前的凄惨境况,使我沉入悲恸。”

Educational Q&A

The verse contrasts past glory with present hardship to highlight the instability of worldly conditions and the ethical weight of empathy: even the mighty can fall into distress, and the righteous response is compassionate concern rather than pride.

Vaiśampāyana addresses Bhīma, recalling Arjuna’s former awe-inspiring power and the joy his birth brought to Kuntī, and then laments that Arjuna’s current degraded situation (during the Virāṭa-period hardships) has made the narrator sorrowful.
