तथेतरान् महाराज यतमानान् महारथान् । पज्चभि: पज्चभिर्बाणैरेकैकं प्रत्यवारयत्,महाराज! इसी प्रकार विजयके लिये प्रयत्नशील अन्य महारथियोंमेंसे प्रत्येकको पाँच- पाँच बाण मारकर रोक दिया
tathā itarān mahārāja yatamānān mahārathān | pañcabhiḥ pañcabhir bāṇair ekaikaṃ pratyavārayat ||
Sañjaya dit : De même, ô Roi, il contint les autres grands guerriers de char qui s’efforçaient d’obtenir la victoire, repoussant chacun en le frappant de cinq flèches.

Educational Q&A
Even in war, action is portrayed as measured and purposeful: the warrior’s skill is shown in restraining and repelling opponents efficiently, reflecting a battlefield ethic of controlled force rather than uncontrolled violence.
Sañjaya reports to King Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the fighter being described counters other elite chariot-warriors who press forward for victory, stopping each one by shooting five arrows at him.
