pāṇḍaveyas tv asambhrānto vāyavyāstreṇa vīryavān | apovāha tadābhrāṇi rādheyasya prapaśyataḥ ||

Sañjaya dijo: El hijo de Pāṇḍu, sin turbarse y firme, empleó con poder heroico el Arma del Viento (Vāyavya-astra) y, ante los propios ojos de Rādheya, barrió aquellas nubes. El instante subraya la serenidad de Arjuna en la batalla: responde a las demostraciones hostiles no con pánico ni crueldad, sino con destreza disciplinada y claridad de propósito.

Educational Q&A

Steadiness under pressure is a warrior’s ethical strength: Arjuna remains asambhrānta (unshaken) and responds proportionately and skillfully, neutralizing the opponent’s tactic without losing self-control.

Karna’s action has produced obstructing clouds; Arjuna counters by deploying the Vāyavya Astra, which drives the clouds away in Karna’s sight, restoring visibility and momentum in the battle.
