धृतराष्ट्र-संजय-संवादः — दुर्योधनस्य ह्रदप्रवेशः
Dhṛtarāṣṭra–Saṃjaya Dialogue: Duryodhana’s Entry into the Lake
सहदेवं समासाद्य त्रिभिरविव्याध सायकै: । तानपास्य शरान् मुक्तान् शरसंघै: प्रतापवान्
sahadevaṁ samāsādya tribhir avivyādha sāyakaiḥ | tān apāsya śarān muktān śarasaṅghaiḥ pratāpavān |
সঞ্জয়ে ক’লে—সি সহদেৱৰ ওচৰলৈ গৈ তিনিটা বাণেৰে তেওঁক বিদ্ধ কৰিলে। তাৰ পিছত নিজৰ ওপৰত নিক্ষিপ্ত শৰবোৰ আঁতৰাই, সেই প্ৰতাপৱানে শৰসমূহৰ ঝাঁকে পাল্টা আঘাত কৰিলে।

Educational Q&A
The verse foregrounds kṣatriya-dharma in its battlefield form: steadiness under attack, disciplined response, and the display of prowess without collapse into panic—an ethical ideal of composure and duty amid danger.
A powerful warrior closes in on Sahadeva and strikes him with three arrows; then, after parrying the arrows shot at him, he retaliates by releasing dense volleys of arrows, intensifying the duel.
