नारायणास्त्र-शमनं द्रौणि-प्रहारश्च
Pacification of the Nārāyaṇāstra and Drauni’s Renewed Assault
Devanagari script
यथैव नकुलो राजन् शरवर्षाण्यमुज्चत । तथैव सौबलश्चापि शिक्षां संदर्शयन् युधि,राजन्! नकुल जैसे-जैसे बाणोंकी वर्षा करते, शकुनि भी वैसे-ही-वैसे युद्धविषयक शिक्षाका प्रदर्शन करता हुआ बाण छोड़ता था
Transliteration
sañjaya uvāca | yathaiva nakulo rājan śaravarṣāṇy amuñcata | tathaiva saubalaś cāpi śikṣāṃ saṃdarśayan yudhi rājan ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: “O King, just as Nakula kept releasing showers of arrows, so too did Saubala (Śakuni) let fly his shafts in the battle, displaying his training and tactical skill. Thus, the fight is shown not merely as force, but as a contest of practiced martial discipline.”
