Shloka 9
अर्जुनस्य जयद्रथाभिमुखप्रयाणं तथा कर्णेन प्रतिरोधः
Arjuna’s renewed advance toward Jayadratha and Karṇa’s resistance
तथैव शक्रप्रतिमो5पि सात्यकि: सुदर्शने यान् क्षिपति सम सायकान् । द्विधा त्रिधा तानकरोत् सुदर्शन: शरोत्तमै: स्यन्दनवर्यमास्थित:,इसी प्रकार इन्द्रके समान पराक्रमी सात्यकि भी सुदर्शनपर जिन-जिन बाणोंका प्रहार करते थे, श्रेष्ठ रथपर बैठे हुए सुदर्शन भी अपने उत्तम बाणोंद्वारा उन सबके दो-दो तीन-तीन टुकड़े कर देते थे
tathaiva śakra-pratimo 'pi sātyakiḥ sudarśane yān kṣipati sma sāyakān | dvidhā tridhā tān akarot sudarśanaḥ śarottamaiḥ syandana-varyam āsthitaḥ ||
Sañjaya said: Just so, Sātyaki—valiant like Śakra (Indra)—kept hurling arrows at Sudarśana. Yet Sudarśana, seated upon an excellent chariot, met each shaft with superior missiles and split them apart—into two and even three pieces—showing the grim discipline of war where prowess and alertness decide life and death in an instant.
