Transliteration
suśarmāṇaṃ samuddiśya cikṣepāśu hasann iva | sa śaraḥ preṣitas tena krodha-dīptena dhanvinā ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: Aiming at Suśarmā, the archer swiftly let fly an arrow, as if laughing. That shaft, released by the bowman blazing with anger, sped forth like a rod of Death—an image of how wrath in war turns skill into terror and hastens ruin.
