ततो<परैस्त्रिभिर्भल्लैद्रौणिं विव्याध पाण्डव: । सो5तिविद्धो बलवता पार्थेन सुमहात्मना
tato 'parais tribhir bhallair drauṇiṁ vivyādha pāṇḍavaḥ | so 'tividdho balavatā pārthena sumahātmanā ||
তেতিয়া পাণ্ডৱে আৰু তিনিটা তীক্ষ্ণ ভল্লে দ্ৰৌণি (অশ্বত্থামা)ক বিদ্ধ কৰিলে। বলৱান মহাত্মা পাৰ্থৰ দ্বাৰা গভীৰভাৱে আহত হ’লেও সি ৰণধৰ্মত অচল হৈ থাকিল।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the warrior ethic: skill and strength are exercised decisively in battle, yet the description of Arjuna as “great-souled” implies that true martial excellence is ideally joined with nobility of intent and disciplined conduct.
Sañjaya reports that Arjuna (Pārtha), a Pāṇḍava, shoots Aśvatthāman (Drauṇi), son of Droṇa, with three additional bhalla-arrows, wounding him severely in the ongoing combat.
