Translation
Sañjaya said: “O King, having routed your forces, Dhanañjaya (Arjuna) then began to cut down, with dreadful arrows, the guards protecting the King of Sindhu. In the grim logic of battle, Arjuna’s action is presented as a decisive, duty-bound strike against those who stand as the immediate shield of his foe.”
