St. 15. समरे कोपात् कौरवशतं न मभ्रामि। दुःशासनस्य उरस्त: रुधिरं न पिबामि सुयोधनोरू गदया न संचूर्णयामि । भवतां नृपतिः पणेन सधिं करोतु ।
Translation:-Shall I not furiously slaughter all the hundred Kauravas on the battle-field ? Shall I not suck up blood from Duhshasana's chest? Shall I not pound Duryodhana's thighs with Imy Inace ? Let your king make peace for consideration.
पण:-Any stipulated concession in money or territory पणेन-For the sake of such a concession.
This interpretation appears to me more natural though the other interpretation suggested by the commentator deserves to be considered also. According to this interpretation, पण denotes a certain coin and Bhima ridicules the idea of a treaty being negotiated for the sake of five villages, Saying that the King may make peace for the sake of a पण which is, after all, what the villages are worth. This is, in my opinion, rather far-fetched. Bhima really ridicules the idea of peace being made for any sordid consideration ; for his own part, he would have nothing short of revenge.
अश्रुतपुर्व खलु, &c.—अद्भुतपूर्व–पूर्वं श्रुतम् श्रुतपूर्वम् । न श्रुत पूर्वं अद्भुतपूर्वम् ( सुप्सुपेति समासः ).
A compound is so named in Sanskrit when it cannot be relegated to any of the recognised classes of compounds.
