Karṇa-parva Adhyāya 58 — Arjuna’s Arrow-Storm and Relief of Bhīmasena
तमापतन्तं सहसा घोररूप॑ विशाम्पते । चिच्छेद शतधा राजज्शैनेय: कृतहस्तवत्,प्रजानाथ! नरेश! सहसा आते हुए उस भयंकर बाणके सात्यकिने सिद्धहस्त योद्धाकी भाँति सौ टुकड़े कर डाले
tam āpatantaṃ sahasā ghorarūpaṃ viśāṃpate | ciccheda śatadhā rājñaḥ śaineyaḥ kṛtahastavat || prajānātha nareśa |
قال سنجيا: يا سيدَ الناس، يا ملك—لما اندفع ذلك المقذوف الرهيب فجأة، قطعَه شاينيَة (ساتياكي)، كأنه أستاذٌ مُحكَم في فن السلاح، إلى مئة قطعة.
