ध्वजं चिच्छेद चैकेन ततोऽन्येन हृदि क्षतः । स गात्रविद्धो व्यथितो ध्वजयष्टिं समाश्रितः
dhvajaṃ ciccheda caikena tato'nyena hṛdi kṣataḥ | sa gātraviddho vyathito dhvajayaṣṭiṃ samāśritaḥ
Con una flecha cortó su estandarte; con otra le hirió en el corazón. Perforado en sus miembros y atormentado por el dolor, se aferró al asta del estandarte para sostenerse.

Scene: An arrow slices the enemy banner; a second arrow strikes his chest/heart. The wounded warrior, limbs pierced, leans and clutches the banner-pole for support as it tilts.
The ‘banner’ of ego and conquest falls first; inner injury follows when pride confronts dharma.
