Shloka 111
स सप्तभि: सप्त शरप्रवेकान् संवार्य भूरिश्रवसा विसृष्टान् । शितेन दुर्योधनबाहुमुक्तं क्षुरेण तत् तोमरमुन्ममाथ,अर्जुनने सात बाणोंसे भूरिश्रवाके छोड़े हुए सातों भललोंको काटकर तीखे छूरेसे दुर्योधनकी भुजाओंसे मुक्त हुए उस तोमरको भी नष्ट कर दिया
sa saptabhiḥ sapta śarapravakān saṃvārya bhūriśravasā visṛṣṭān | śitena duryodhanabāhumuktaṃ kṣureṇa tat tomaram unmamātha |
Dijo Sañjaya: Arjuna, con siete flechas, contuvo y abatió los siete mejores proyectiles lanzados por Bhūriśravas; y con una saeta afilada de punta de navaja también hizo añicos aquella jabalina arrojada desde el brazo de Duryodhana.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights disciplined, precise action in crisis: a warrior protects his side by neutralizing incoming threats efficiently. Ethically, it points to controlled force—skill and restraint—rather than reckless aggression.
During the battle, Bhūriśravas releases seven powerful missiles, which Arjuna counters with seven arrows. Arjuna then also destroys a javelin hurled from Duryodhana’s arm using a sharp, razor-like shaft.
