Night Exhaustion and Brief Pause in Battle
Devanagari script
सोमदत्त: पुनः क्रुद्धो दृष्टया सात्यकिमाहवे । महता शरवर्षेणच्छादयामास भारत,भारत! युद्धस्थलमें सात्यकिको देखकर सोमदत्त पुनः कुपित हो उठे और उन्होंने बड़ी भारी बाण-वर्षा करके सात्यकिको आच्छादित कर दिया
Transliteration
saṃjaya uvāca | somadattaḥ punaḥ kruddho dṛṣṭvā sātyakim āhave | mahatā śaravarṣeṇa cchādayāmāsa bhārata ||
Translation
Sanjaya said: Seeing Sātyaki on the battlefield, Somadatta once again flared up in anger; and, O Bhārata, he covered him with a mighty shower of arrows—an act that shows how wrath in war drives warriors to relentless escalation rather than restraint.
