भूरिश्रवसः गर्हा, प्रायोपवेशः, सात्यकिकृतशिरच्छेदः
Bhūriśravas’s Censure, Prāyopaveśa, and Sātyaki’s Beheading
चतुरक्षतुरो वाहांश्षतुर्भि: परमेषुभि:
caturakṣaturo vāhāṃś caturbhiḥ parameṣubhiḥ
সঞ্জয়ে ক’লে—চাৰিটা পৰম বাণেৰে সি চাৰিটা ঘোঁৰা পেলাই দিলে; প্ৰতিটোক একেকটা শৰে—যুদ্ধত ধৰ্ম ঢাক খাই গ’লে দক্ষতাও দ্ৰুত ধ্বংসৰ অস্ত্ৰ হৈ উঠে, সেই নিৰ্দয় নিখুঁততা ইহাই।
संजय उवाच
Educational Q&A
