Transliteration
athainaṃ chinnadhanvānaṃ tvaramāṇo mahārathaḥ | ājaghānorasi kruddhaḥ saptatyā niśitaiḥ śaraiḥ ||
Translation
Sanjaya said: Then the great chariot-warrior, acting in haste and anger, struck him—now deprived of his bow—on the chest with seventy razor-sharp arrows. The scene underscores how, in the fury of battle, a fighter presses advantage over a disarmed opponent, revealing the moral strain that war places upon restraint and righteous conduct.
