Śaineya’s Breakthrough and Reunion with Arjuna (शैनेयस्य समागमः)

Devanagari script

सहदेवस्तु विंशत्या धर्मराजश्न पञ्चभि: । शतेन नकुलश्नापि हार्दिक्यं समविध्यत,सहदेवने बीस, धर्मराजने पाँच और नकुलने सौ बाणोंसे कृतवर्माको बींध डाला

Transliteration

sahadevas tu viṁśatyā dharmarājaś ca pañcabhiḥ | śatena nakulaś cāpi hārdikyaṁ samavidhyata ||

Translation

Sañjaya said: Sahadeva struck Kṛtavarmā (Hārdikya) with twenty arrows; King Yudhiṣṭhira with five; and Nakula too pierced him with a hundred. Thus, in the fierce press of battle, the Pāṇḍavas answered aggression with measured yet overwhelming force, intent on checking a formidable warrior rather than indulging in needless cruelty.
