Droṇa-parva Adhyāya 125: Duryodhana’s despair and vow after Jayadratha’s fall (जयद्रथवधे दुर्योधनविलापः)

Devanagari script

दुःशासनस्तु विंशत्या सात्यकिं प्रत्यविध्यत । फिर लोहेके बने हुए तीखी धारवाले आठ बाणोंसे उसे पुनः: घायल कर दिया। तब दुःशासनने भी बीस बाण मारकर सात्यकिको क्षत-विक्षत कर दिया

Transliteration

sañjaya uvāca |

duḥśāsanas tu viṃśatyā sātyakiṃ pratyavidhyat |

Translation

Sanjaya said: Duhshasana, in the fury of battle, struck Satyaki with twenty arrows. The exchange reflects the relentless escalation of violence on the battlefield, where valor and vengeance drive warriors to answer injury with injury, even as the wider demands of dharma are strained by the ethics of war.
