शरवृष्टिं च तां कर्णो दूरात् प्राप्तामशातयत् । दृष्टवा च विहतां मायां कर्णेन भरतर्षभ
śaravṛṣṭiṁ ca tāṁ karṇo dūrāt prāptām aśātayat | dṛṣṭvā ca vihatāṁ māyāṁ karṇena bharatarṣabha ||
দূৰৰ পৰা আহি থকা সেই শৰবৃষ্টি কৰ্ণে তাতেই নষ্ট কৰি দিলে। আৰু হে ভৰতশ্ৰেষ্ঠ, কৰ্ণে তাৰ মায়াযুক্ত কৌশল ভাঙি পেলালে বুলি দেখি, তাৰ মায়া আৰু উপায় পৰাজিত হ’ল।

Educational Q&A
In the battlefield ethic of the epic, steadfast skill and presence of mind can neutralize deceptive tactics; the verse highlights how disciplined martial competence (kṣātra-tejas) can overcome an opponent’s māyā (stratagem).
Sañjaya reports that Karṇa, even from a distance, breaks an incoming barrage of arrows; seeing his device/illusion thwarted by Karṇa, the attacker’s stratagem is effectively defeated.
