Translation
Sañjaya said: The twang of the bow was heard—like the crackling roar of a thunderbolt—when the warrior, standing firm upon his chariot, drew the bowstring. The sound signals unwavering resolve and the fearful momentum of battle, where steadfastness becomes both a martial virtue and a portent of impending destruction.
