ततस्तेजोमया बाणा रथात् पार्थस्य नि:सृता: । प्रादुरासन् महावीर्या: कर्णस्य रथमन्तिकात्,तदनन्तर कुन्तीकुमार अर्जुनके रथसे महान् शक्तिशाली और तेजस्वी बाण निकलकर कर्णके रथके समीप प्रकट होने लगे

قال سَنْجَيا: ثم انطلقت من عربة بارثا أرجونا سهامٌ مؤلَّفة من وهجٍ متقد. وكانت عظيمة البأس، فبدت قريبةً من عربة كارنا—إشارةً إلى ضغط هجوم أرجونا السريع الذي لا يلين في مجرى المعركة العادلة، وإن كانت مروِّعة.

The verse highlights kṣatriya-dharma in its stark form: disciplined prowess and unwavering resolve in battle. It also suggests that power must be directed with purpose—Arjuna’s radiant arrows symbolize focused effort (prayatna) operating within the larger moral and fated framework of the war.
Sañjaya narrates that Arjuna releases blazing, powerful arrows from his chariot. These arrows manifest near Karṇa’s chariot, indicating Arjuna’s aggressive advance and the intensification of the duel between the two great warriors.
