Shloka 10
तामन्तरिक्षे विततां शस्त्रवृष्टिं समन््तत: । व्यधमत् पाण्डवो बाणैस्तम: सूर्य इवांशुभि:
tām antarīkṣe vitatāṁ śastravṛṣṭiṁ samantataḥ | vyadhamat pāṇḍavo bāṇais tamaḥ sūrya ivāṁśubhiḥ ||
আকাশে চারদিকে বিস্তৃত সেই অস্ত্রবৃষ্টি পাণ্ডব তাঁর বাণে এমনভাবে ছিন্নভিন্ন করলেন, যেমন সূর্য কিরণে অন্ধকার দূর করে।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights disciplined resistance to destructive force: in the chaos of war, a righteous warrior counters an indiscriminate barrage with focused skill, symbolically restoring clarity—like sunlight removing darkness.
Sañjaya describes a moment in battle where a widespread ‘rain of weapons’ fills the sky; the Pāṇḍava answers by shooting arrows that scatter and neutralize that barrage, compared to the sun’s rays dispelling darkness.
