Shloka 2
नालक्षयत तत् कश्रनिद् वारुणास्त्रेण संवृतम् । अर्जुनस्य लघुत्वाच्च संवृतत्वाच्च तेजस:,एक तो अर्जुनने बड़ी फुर्ती की थी, दूसरे भीमसेनपर उस अस्त्रके तेजका आवरण था, इससे कोई भी यह देख न सका कि भीमसेन वारुणास्त्रसे घिरे हुए हैं

Tak seorang pun menyadari bahwa Bhīmasena telah terselubung oleh senjata Vāruṇa. Karena Arjuna bergerak dengan sangat cepat, dan nyala daya senjata itu sendiri menjadi tirai penutup, para kesatria tidak dapat melihat bahwa Bhīma terkepung oleh Vāruṇāstra.

Educational Q&A
In battle, outcomes are shaped not only by strength but by speed, timing, and the limits of perception; even great warriors can be misled when power itself creates concealment.
Sañjaya reports that Bhīma was surrounded by the Vāruṇāstra, yet the onlookers failed to notice it because Arjuna acted swiftly and the weapon’s radiance obscured what was happening.
