अमी च त्वां धृतराष्ट्रस्य पुत्राःसर्वे सहैवावनिपालसङ्घैः ।
भीष्मो द्रोणः सूतपुत्रस्तथाऽसौसहास्मदीयैरपि योधमुख्यैः ॥
भीष्मो द्रोणः सूतपुत्रस्तथाऽसौसहास्मदीयैरपि योधमुख्यैः ॥
Hindi · हिन्दी
हमारे मुख्य योद्धाओंके सहित भीष्म, द्रोण और वह कर्ण भी आपमें प्रविष्ट हो रहे हैं । राजाओंके समुदायोंके सहित धृतराष्ट्रके वे ही सबकेसब पुत्र आपके विकराल दाढ़ोंके कारण भयंकर मुखोंमें बड़ी तेजीसे प्रविष्ट हो रहे हैं । उनमेंसे कईएक तो चूर्ण हुए सिरोंसहित आपके दाँतोंके बीचमें फँसे हुए दीख रहे हैं ॥
English
Bhishma, Drona, Karna, and all the sons of Dhritarashtra, along with the hosts of kings and our own chief warriors, are rushing into your fearful mouths. Some are seen caught between your teeth, with crushed heads.
What this verse means
Arjuna sees the great warriors and kings being pulled into Krishna's terrible cosmic mouth, where some are crushed between the teeth.
Context & commentary
On Kurukshetra, Arjuna is staring into Krishna's cosmic form and losing all sense of ordinary battle. Bhishma, Drona, Karna, and the Kauravas appear to be rushing into those terrible mouths, showing Arjuna that the war's outcome is already overwhelming human control.
Why this verse still matters
You watch a situation collapse faster than anyone can stop it: a breakup, a lawsuit, a family conflict. Suddenly, all the planning looks tiny beside what is already in motion.
The takeaway
A human battle suddenly looks powerless against a force far beyond it.
