Transliteration
tatrādbhutam apaśyāma bhāradvājasya pauruṣam | lāghavaṁ cāstrayogaṁ ca bāhubalaṁ ca bhārata ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: There we beheld the wondrous prowess of the son of Bhāradvāja—his swift mastery of hand and weapon, his disciplined application of missiles, and the sheer strength of his arms, O Bhārata. In the midst of war, the report highlights how trained skill and personal valor can decisively shape the field, even as such power raises the ethical weight of how it is used.
