Shloka 17
दुर्योधनस्तु दशभिर्गार्ध्रपत्रै: शिलाशितै: । भीमसेनं महेष्वासं रुक्मपुड्खै: समार्पयत्,दुर्योधनने शान चढ़ाकर तेज किये हुए गृध्र-पंखयुक्त अथवा सुवर्णमय पंखवाले दस बाण मारकर महाथनुर्धर भीमसेनको बड़ी चोट पहुँचायी
duryodhanas tu daśabhir gārdhrapatraiḥ śilāśitaiḥ | bhīmasenaṃ maheṣvāsaṃ rukmapuṅkhaiḥ samārpayat ||
সঞ্জয়ে ক’লে—কিন্তু দুঃশাসন নহয়, দুৰ্যোধনে শিলাত শান দিয়া তীক্ষ্ণ কৰা গৃধ্ৰপক্ষযুক্ত, স্বৰ্ণপুঙ্খবিশিষ্ট দহটা বাণে মহাধনুৰ্ধৰ ভীমসেনক বিদ্ধ কৰি ভয়ংকৰ আঘাত দিলে।

The verse underscores how, once war is embraced, determination and skill are often directed toward harm; it implicitly warns that unchecked enmity escalates suffering, even while depicting the kṣatriya ideal of steadfastness in combat.
Sañjaya reports that Duryodhana shoots Bhīma with ten sharp, well-crafted arrows (stone-whetted, vulture-feathered, gold-fletched), wounding the powerful Pāṇḍava warrior in the midst of battle.
