Vaiśampāyana dijo: «Aquel héroe, abrasador de enemigos, arrebató por la fuerza las riquezas de los reyes; y, con un solo ímpetu de velocidad, lanzaba desde su arco cientos de flechas, avasallando a los adversarios por pura fuerza y rapidez».

The verse highlights how raw strength and speed can enable domination—seizing wealth and overpowering others—raising an ethical contrast between mere prowess and righteous conduct (dharma). Martial ability is shown as morally ambiguous unless guided by restraint and justice.
Vaiśampāyana describes a formidable figure whose actions include forcibly taking riches from kings and displaying extraordinary archery, shooting hundreds of arrows with a single burst of speed—emphasizing both his predatory power and battlefield capability.
