Adi Parva 135: The Miner’s Warning and Construction of the Escape Passage
भ्रमतश्न॒ वराहस्य लोहस्य प्रमुखे समम् । पज्च बाणानसंयुक्तान् सम्मुमोचैकबाणवत्,रंगभूमिमें लोहेका बना हुआ सूअर इस प्रकार रखा गया था कि वह सब ओर चक्कर लगा रहा था। उस घूमते हुए सूअरके मुखमें अर्जुनने एक ही साथ एक बाणकी भाँति पाँच बाण मारे। वे पाँचों बाण एक-दूसरेसे सटे हुए नहीं थे

Vaiśampāyana said: As the iron boar kept whirling about, Arjuna released five arrows together, as if they were a single shaft, striking squarely at its mouth. Though discharged in one instant, the five arrows did not cling together; each found its mark with distinct precision—displaying disciplined mastery rather than reckless force.
