Bhīṣma–Karṇa Saṃvāda on the Śaraśayyā (भीष्म–कर्ण संवादः शरशय्यायाम्)
जयत्सेनस्तु समरे भीम॑ भीमायुध॑ युधि | विव्याध निशितैर्बाणैरष्टभिर्भरतर्षभ,एकैकं त्रिभिरानर्च्छत् कड़ुकबर्हिणवाजितै: । उसके बाद सुशर्मा और कृपाचार्यको भी तीन-तीन बाणोंसे बींध डाला। राजेन्द्र! फिर समरांगणमें प्राग्ज्योतिषनरेश भगदत्त, सिन्धुराज जयद्रथ, चित्रसेन, विकर्ण, कृतवर्मा, दुर्मीषण तथा महारथी विन्द और अनुविन्द--इनमैंसे प्रत्येकको गीधकी पाँखसे युक्त तीन- तीन बाणोंद्वारा विशेष पीड़ा दी भरतश्रेष्ठ] मगधराज जयत्सेनने- युद्धके मैदानमें भयानक अस्त्र-शस्त्र धारण करनेवाले भीमसेनको आठ पैने बाणोंद्वारा बींध डाला

Sañjaya said: In the thick of battle, King Jayatsena pierced Bhīmasena—terrible in combat and bearing dreadful weapons—with eight razor-sharp arrows, O bull among the Bharatas. Then, striking each opponent in turn with three arrows fitted with vulture-feathers, he also wounded Suśarmā and the preceptor Kṛpācārya with three each. Again on the battlefield, he inflicted marked pain—three arrows apiece—upon Bhagadatta, king of Prāgjyotiṣa; Jayadratha, king of Sindhu; and upon Citrasena, Vikarṇa, Kṛtavarman, Durmiṣaṇa, and the great chariot-warriors Vinda and Anuvinda. The passage underscores the relentless escalation of violence and the warrior-code skill of targeted, measured strikes amid the moral darkness of war.
