क्षुरप्रेण सुतीक्ष्णेन चिच्छेदास्प महद् धनु: । इसके बाद झुकी हुई गाँठवाले पाँच बाणोंद्वारा रणक्षेत्रमें द्रोणाचार्यको घायल करके तीखे क्षुरप्रसे उनके विशाल धनुषको काट दिया
Transliteration
sañjaya uvāca | kṣurapreṇa sutīkṣṇena cicchedāspa mahad dhanuḥ |
Translation
Sañjaya said: With a razor-edged, exceedingly sharp arrow, he cut down that great bow. In the fierce ethics of battlefield duty, disabling an opponent’s weapon is shown as a decisive act—aimed at checking a formidable warrior’s power rather than merely seeking slaughter.
