Śaineya’s Breakthrough and Reunion with Arjuna (शैनेयस्य समागमः)
स गाढविद्धो व्यथितो रथोपस्थ उपाविशत् | विसृज्य सशरं चापं मूर्च्छयाभिपरिप्लुत:,उन बाणोंकी गहरी चोट खाकर शिखण्डी व्यथित एवं मूर्च्छित हो धनुष-बाण त्यागकर रथकी बैठकमें बैठ गया
sa gāḍhaviddho vyathito rathopasthe upāviśat | visṛjya saśaraṃ cāpaṃ mūrcchayābhipariplutaḥ |
সঞ্জয় ক’লে—গভীৰভাৱে শৰবিদ্ধ হৈ শিখণ্ডী ব্যথিত আৰু মূৰ্ছাগ্ৰস্ত হ’ল। সশৰ ধনুক ত্যাগ কৰি সি ৰথৰ আসনত বহি পৰিল।

The verse highlights the immediate human cost of warfare: physical pain and loss of capacity can abruptly interrupt even a warrior’s resolve. Ethically, it serves as a reminder that violence produces tangible suffering, not merely strategic outcomes.
Śikhaṇḍī is struck by arrows, becomes severely pained and faints. Overcome by swoon, he drops his bow and arrows and sits down on the chariot-seat, indicating a temporary collapse in the midst of battle.
