तथा तु सैन्यप्रवरांश्व राज- न्नभ्यर्दयन्मार्गणै: सूतपुत्र: । राजन! उनके चलाये हुए सम्पूर्ण अस्त्र-शस्त्रोंका नाश करके सूतपुत्रने उनके बहुत-से रथों

Sañjaya dit : Alors, ô Roi, le fils du cocher pressa durement les plus grands guerriers de l’armée par des volées de flèches. Ayant brisé toutes les armes et tous les traits qu’ils lançaient, il détruisit nombre de leurs chars, chevaux et éléphants, et se mit à tourmenter de ses flèches les principaux champions du camp adverse. Le passage souligne l’élan impitoyable du combat : l’excellence martiale devient une force qui protège un camp tout en infligeant à l’autre de cruelles souffrances.

The verse highlights the grim ethical tension of dharma in war: martial prowess can be admirable as disciplined k 63atriya action, yet its immediate fruit is suffering and destruction. It invites reflection on how skill and duty, when exercised in battle, inevitably carry heavy human and material cost.
Sanjaya reports to Dhtar01 63 tra that Karna is overwhelming the foremost enemy warriors with arrows, neutralizing their weapons and destroying many chariots, horses, and elephants, while inflicting pain on the principal champions of the opposing side.
