शरौघाञ्छरजालेन विदुधाव धनंजय: । प्रजवलित बाणसमूह तथा देदीप्यमान धनुष धारण करनेवाले कर्णके उन बाणसमूहोंको अर्जुनने अपने बाणोंके समुदायद्वारा छिन्न-भिन्न कर दिया

قال سانجيا: إنّ دهننجايا (أرجونا) قد حطّم بسِتارٍ من السهام وابلَ النبال المندفع نحوه. أمّا عناقيدُ السهام المتّقدة التي أطلقها كارْنا—حاملُ القوس المتلألئ—فقد قطعها أرجونا إلى شظايا وبدّدها بوابلٍ مركزٍ من سهامه.

Even amid violent conflict, the epic highlights disciplined mastery and steadiness: force is met not by panic but by trained focus and measured response, reflecting the warrior’s duty (kṣatriya-dharma) to stand firm and protect one’s cause.
Sañjaya describes a moment in the Arjuna–Karṇa battle where Karṇa releases fierce, blazing volleys; Arjuna counters with a dense ‘net’ of arrows that cuts and disperses Karṇa’s missiles mid-flight.
