Shloka 2
भूरिश्रवसः गर्हा, प्रायोपवेशः, सात्यकिकृतशिरच्छेदः
Bhūriśravas’s Censure, Prāyopaveśa, and Sātyaki’s Beheading
तं द्रोण: सप्तसप्तत्या जघान निशितै: शरे: । दुर्मर्षणो द्वादशभिर्दु:सहो दशभि: शरै:,द्रोणाचार्यने सात्यकिको सतहत्तर तीखे बाणोंसे घायल कर दिया। फिर दुर्मर्षणने बारह और दु:सहने दस बाणोंसे उन्हें बींध डाला
taṁ droṇaḥ saptasaptatyā jaghāna niśitaiḥ śaraiḥ | durmarṣaṇo dvādaśabhir duḥsaho daśabhiḥ śaraiḥ ||
Sañjaya said: Droṇa struck him with seventy-seven razor-sharp arrows. Then Durmarṣaṇa pierced him with twelve, and Duḥsaha with ten more. Thus, in the press of battle, multiple warriors converge upon a single foe—an image of how martial prowess, loyalty to one’s side, and the harsh calculus of war can overwhelm individual valor, raising the ethical tension between duty in combat and the suffering it inflicts.
