द्रोणकर्णयोः निशि संप्रहारः — Night Engagement with Droṇa and Karṇa

Devanagari script

स विद्ध्वा दशभि: पार्थ वासुदेव॑ च सप्तभि:

Transliteration

sa viddhvā daśabhiḥ pārtha vāsudevaṃ ca saptabhiḥ

Translation

Sañjaya said: Having struck Pārtha (Arjuna) with ten (arrows) and Vāsudeva (Kṛṣṇa) with seven, the warrior pressed the attack—an image of the battle’s ruthless intensity, where even the charioteer who upholds dharma is not spared amid the demands of war.
