Arrow-storm Engagement
अदृश्यं समरे चक्र: सायकौचै: समन्तत: । तब उन सभी पुरुषसिंह महारथियोंने भी समरांगणमें सब ओरसे बाणसमूहोंकी वर्षा करके अर्जुनको अदृश्य कर दिया

সঞ্জয়ে ক’লে—সেই সিংহসম মহাৰথীসকলে ৰণক্ষেত্ৰত চাৰিওফালে ঘন বাণবৃষ্টি কৰি অৰ্জুনক এনেদৰে ঢাকি দিলে যে তেওঁ অদৃশ্য হৈ পৰিল।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how, in war, sheer force and coordinated aggression can overwhelm perception and visibility itself; it implicitly cautions that battlefield success often depends on collective tactics and intensity, not only individual fame—raising ethical awareness of war’s engulfing, dehumanizing momentum.
Sanjaya reports that multiple great chariot-warriors unleash a surrounding rain of arrows, creating such a dense barrage that Arjuna becomes hidden from view on the battlefield.
