भूरिश्रवसः गर्हा, प्रायोपवेशः, सात्यकिकृतशिरच्छेदः
Bhūriśravas’s Censure, Prāyopaveśa, and Sātyaki’s Beheading
विमुज्चन्तौ शरांस्तीक्ष्णान् संदधानौ च सायकान् | अदृश्यं समरे<न्योन्यं चक्रतुस्तो महारथौ,उन दोनों महारथियोंने समरभूमिमें बाणोंका संधान और तीखे बाणोंका प्रहार करते हुए एक-दूसरेको अदृश्य कर दिया
vimuñcantau śarāṁs tīkṣṇān saṁdadhānau ca sāyakān | adṛśyaṁ samare 'nyonyaṁ cakratus tau mahārathau ||
Sañjaya berkata: Kedua mahāratha itu, sambil melepaskan anak panah yang tajam dan terus memasang batang-batang panah baru, saling membuat lawannya lenyap dari pandangan di medan laga—tertutup badai panah masing-masing.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the disciplined, relentless nature of martial action: skill and sustained effort can overwhelm ordinary perception, reminding readers that war magnifies human capacities while also veiling clarity—an implicit caution about the consuming, obscuring force of violence.
Two elite chariot-warriors exchange a rapid, continuous barrage—shooting sharp arrows while simultaneously fitting new ones—so densely that each becomes hidden from view, as if made invisible by the other’s missile-storm.
