पुनश्चैनं शरैघोरिराजघान स्तनान्तरे | दशभिर्भरतश्रेष्ठ भरतानां महारथ:,भरतश्रेष्ठ) तदनन्तर भरतकुलके महारथी वीर अभिमन्युने पुनः दुर्योधनकी छातीमें दस भयानक बाण मारे

Sañjaya reports a renewed attack: a formidable royal warrior (a mahāratha) strikes his opponent again, hitting the chest with ten fierce arrows, intensifying the combat sequence in the Kurukṣetra battle narration.
