Shloka 10
अध्याय १५९ — रात्रौ श्रमविरामः
Night Exhaustion and Brief Pause in Battle
युगपत् पेततुर्वीरे घोरौ परिघमार्गणीौ
yugapat petatur vīre ghorau parighamārgaṇī
Sanjaya dit : Au même instant, les deux armes terribles —la massue de fer et le projectile— s’abattirent sur le héros, marquant l’immédiateté sombre de la guerre, où les instruments de violence frappent ensemble et où le destin bascule en un éclair.

Sañjaya reports that two fearsome weapons—a heavy iron club and a missile—strike/fall simultaneously upon a hero, intensifying the scene’s urgency and danger.
