ध्वजं चिच्छेद चैकेन ततोऽन्येन हृदि क्षतः । स गात्रविद्धो व्यथितो ध्वजयष्टिं समाश्रितः
dhvajaṃ ciccheda caikena tato'nyena hṛdi kṣataḥ | sa gātraviddho vyathito dhvajayaṣṭiṃ samāśritaḥ
D'une flèche, elle abattit son étendard ; d'une autre, elle le blessa au cœur. Percé dans ses membres et tourmenté par la douleur, il s'accrocha à la hampe de l'étendard pour se soutenir.

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.
