ध्वजं चिच्छेद चैकेन ततोऽन्येन हृदि क्षतः । स गात्रविद्धो व्यथितो ध्वजयष्टिं समाश्रितः
dhvajaṃ ciccheda caikena tato'nyena hṛdi kṣataḥ | sa gātraviddho vyathito dhvajayaṣṭiṃ samāśritaḥ
بسهم واحد قطعت رايته، وبآخر جرحته في قلبه. وإذ اخترقت السهام أطرافه وتعذب بالألم، تشبث بعمود الراية ليدعم نفسه.

Type: kshetra
Listener: King (rājan)
Scene: An arrow slices the enemy banner; a second arrow strikes his chest/heart. The wounded warrior, limbs pierced, leans and clutches the banner-pole for support as it tilts.
The ‘banner’ of ego and conquest falls first; inner injury follows when pride confronts dharma.
