तथोत्तमौजा: संक्रुद्धः शरैहेमविभूषितै: । अविध्यत् सारथिं चास्य प्राहिणोद्ू यमसादनम्,इसी प्रकार उत्तमौजाने भी अत्यन्त कुपित हो अपने सुवर्णभूषित बाणोंद्वारा उसके सारथिको गहरी चोट पहुँचायी और उसे यमलोक भेज दिया
tathottamaujāḥ saṅkruddhaḥ śaraiḥ hemavibhūṣitaiḥ | avidhyat sārathiṃ cāsya prāhiṇod yamasādanam ||
Then Uttamaujā, inflamed with anger, struck down the charioteer with arrows adorned with gold, and sent him to the abode of Yama. In the brutal momentum of battle, the fall of the driver is not only a tactical blow—disabling the chariot—but also a grim ethical sign, where rage and necessity can eclipse restraint and compassion.
