Śalya–Bhīma Gadā-saṃnipāta and Śalya’s Bāṇa-jāla against Yudhiṣṭhira
Book 9, Chapter 11
स भिजन्नमर्मा रुधिरं वमन् वित्रस्तमानस:
sa bhijannamarmā rudhiraṃ vaman vitrastamānasaḥ
সঞ্জয়ে ক’লে—তাৰ মর্মস্থল ভাঙি গ’ল; সি ৰক্ত বমি কৰি, ভয়ত মন কঁপি উঠি, ভীষণভাবে আহত অৱস্থাত পৰি ৰ’ল। এই দৃশ্যই দেখুৱায়—ৰণহিংসাই কিমান সোনকালে মহাবলীকেও অসহায় যন্ত্রণালৈ নামাই আনে।

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores the stark ethical reality of war: bodily power and pride collapse instantly when vital points are struck, revealing the fragility of life and the heavy cost that adharma-driven violence exacts on all involved.
Sañjaya describes a warrior (implied by context) who has been grievously wounded—his vital points shattered—so that he vomits blood and becomes mentally terrified, indicating a decisive, debilitating injury on the battlefield.
