L1example
suṣṭhu niḥsaha-tanuḥ subalo’bhūt
suṣṭhuthoroughly, completelyपूरी तरह, अच्छी तरह
niḥsaha-tanuḥhis body gone limp — unable to bear anything predicate nominative of abhūt; bahuvrīhi, 'one whose body is niḥsaha'जिसका शरीर निःसह अर्थात् असमर्थ हो गया — यह अभूत् का विधेय, बहुव्रीहि
subalaḥSubalaसुबल
abhūtbecameहो गया
subalaḥ — Subala; suṣṭhu niḥsaha-tanuḥ — his body gone completely limp; abhūt — became.
suṣṭhu — पूरी तरह; niḥsaha-tanuḥ — जिसका शरीर असमर्थ हो गया; subalaḥ — सुबल; abhūt — हो गया
Subala's body went completely limp. He could not bear to do a thing.
सुबल का शरीर पूरी तरह निःसह अर्थात् असमर्थ हो गया।
An udāharaṇa of śrama, 'fatigue / exhaustion' — the vyabhicāri-bhāva set up by the lead-in 'śramād, yathā—'. Subala's collapsed body (niḥsaha-tanu) after wrestling is the fatigue being shown.
यह श्रम अर्थात् थकावट का उदाहरण है — 'श्रमाद्, यथा—' इस भूमिका से सूचित व्यभिचारी-भाव। मल्लयुद्ध के बाद सुबल का ढह गया शरीर (निःसह-तनु) ही यहाँ दिखाई जा रही थकावट है।

amum — this one, Subala; āhavāya — to battle; na sahasā āhvayatām — let him not be summoned on the spur of the moment.
na — मत; āhavāya — युद्ध के लिए; sahasā — सहसा; āhvayatām — बुला लो; amum — इसको
So do not go summoning him to a fight all of a sudden. Following Viśvanātha (c3.s2), Kṛṣṇa tells the others not to call the worn-out Subala into battle.
इसे युद्ध के लिए सहसा मत बुलाओ।
