Shloka 71
कर्णपर्व — अध्याय ५९
Arjuna Breaks the Encirclement; Bhīma Reinforces
Devanagari script
तेनैवैतानमोघास्त्रा निध्नन्ति च नदन्ति च । वे स्वयं अस्त्र-शस्त्रोंसे रहित होनेपर भी आयुधधारी शत्रुओंके शस्त्र छीनकर उसीसे उन्हें मार डालते और गर्जना करते हैं; उनके अस्त्रोंका निशाना कभी खाली नहीं जाता || ७० ई || शिरांस्येतानि पात्यन्ते शत्रूणां बाहवो5पि च
Translation
With those unfailing weapons they strike down the foe and roar aloud. Even when they themselves are without arms, they snatch the weapons from armed enemies and with those very weapons slay them, shouting in triumph; their aim never goes astray. The enemies’ heads fall, and their arms as well.
