Shloka 28
अस्मांस्तु पुनरासाद्य लब्धलक्ष्या दुरासदा: | शरासनानि धुन्वन्त: शरवर्षरवाकिरन्,इतनेहीमें दुर्धर्ष पाण्डव पुन: हमारे पास आ पहुँचे और हमें अपने लक्ष्यके रूपमें पाकर धनुष हिलाते हुए हम लोगोंपर बाणोंकी वर्षा करने लगे
asmāṁs tu punar āsādya labdhalakṣyā durāsadāḥ | śarāsanāni dhunvantaḥ śaravarṣa-ravākiran ||
Sañjaya said: “But then, closing in on us again—unyielding and now having found their mark—the Pāṇḍavas, shaking their bows, began to pour upon our ranks a roaring rain of arrows.”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the martial ethic of steadfastness and precision in battle: once the Pāṇḍavas have ‘found their mark’ (labdhalakṣyāḥ), they press the attack without hesitation. Ethically, it reflects kṣatriya-dharma as disciplined resolve—skill and determination directed toward a chosen objective.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the Pāṇḍavas have advanced again against the Kaurava side. They are described as formidable and accurate, brandishing their bows and unleashing a loud, dense shower of arrows upon the opposing forces.
