Angada’s Counterstrike
स तुतेनप्रहारेणमहापार्श्वोविचेतनः ।।।।ससूतस्स्यन्दनात्तस्माद्विसंज्ञश्चापतद्भुवि ।
sa tu tena prahāreṇa mahāpārśvo vicetanaḥ | sasūtaḥ syandanāt tasmād visaṃjñaś cāpatad bhuvi ||
Sous ce coup, Mahāpārśva perdit connaissance et, avec son cocher, tomba sans vie de son char sur la terre.
By that hit, Mahaparsva became unconscious and fell on the ground, senseless, from the chariot along with the charioteer.
Actions in war bear immediate consequences; when force is applied within yuddha-dharma, outcomes unfold swiftly and decisively.
After being hit by Angada’s weapon, Mahāpārśva collapses unconscious from his chariot along with his charioteer.
Effectiveness and determination in battle—Angada’s strike is portrayed as powerful and outcome-changing.
