भीमसेन-धृष्टद्युम्नयोर्वाक्यं

Bhīmasena and Dhṛṣṭadyumna’s Speeches on Kṣātra-Dharma

Devanagari script

अथीनं सात्यकि: क्रुद्ध: पञ्चभिन्निशितै: शरै: । विव्याध हृदये तस्य प्रास्रवत्‌ तस्य शोणितम्‌,यह देख सात्यकि कुपित हो उठे और उन्होंने पाँच तीखे बाणोंसे भूरिकी छाती छेद डाली। उससे रक्तकी धारा बहने लगी

Transliteration

athainaṃ sātyakiḥ kruddhaḥ pañcabhir niśitaiḥ śaraiḥ | vivyādha hṛdaye tasya prāsravat tasya śoṇitam ||

Translation

Sañjaya said: Then Sātyaki, inflamed with anger, pierced him in the region of the heart with five sharp arrows. From that wound his blood streamed forth—an image of how wrath, once unleashed in war, turns skill into lethal certainty and drives the battle further away from restraint.
