Shloka 12
अर्जुनस्य जयद्रथाभिमुखप्रयाणं तथा कर्णेन प्रतिरोधः
Arjuna’s renewed advance toward Jayadratha and Karṇa’s resistance
तथैव तस्यावनिपालपुत्र: संधाय बाणैरपरैज्वलडद्धि: | आजण्निवांस्तान् रजतप्रकाशां- श्वतुर्भिरश्वां श्वतुरः प्रसहा,तत्पश्चात् उन राजकुमार सुदर्शनने अन्य चार तेजस्वी बाणोंका संधान करके उनके द्वारा चाँदीके समान चमकनेवाले सात्यकिके उन चारों घोड़ोंको भी बलपूर्वक घायल कर दिया
tathaiva tasyāvanipālaputraḥ sandhāya bāṇair aparair jvaladbhīḥ | ājaghānivāṁs tān rajataprakāśān caturbhir aśvān śveturāḥ prasahya ||
Sañjaya said: In the same manner, the prince—son of the king—fitted other blazing arrows and, with four shafts, forcibly struck down Sātyaki’s four horses, which shone like silver. The scene underscores the ruthless momentum of battle, where disabling an opponent’s mobility becomes a decisive tactic, even as it intensifies the moral weight of violence on the field.
