Droṇa-parva Adhyāya 25 — Bhīma’s Disruption of Elephant Formations and Bhagadatta’s Shock Advance
क्षत्रवर्मा सिन्धुपतेश्छित्त्वा केतनकार्मुके । नाराचैर्दशभि: क्रुद्धः सर्वमर्मस्वताडयत्,क्षत्रवर्माने कुपित हो सिंधुराज जयद्रथके ध्वज और धनुष काटकर दस नाराचोंद्वारा उसके सभी मर्मस्थानोंमें चोट पहुँचायी
sañjaya uvāca | kṣatravarmā sindhupateś chittvā ketanakārmuke | nārācair daśabhiḥ kruddhaḥ sarvamarmasv atāḍayat ||
Sañjaya said: Enraged, Kṣatravarmā cut down the Sindhu king Jayadratha’s banner and bow, and then struck him with ten nārāca arrows, hitting him in all his vital points—an episode that underscores the ruthless precision of battlefield skill and the grim ethical tension of war, where valor and fury drive warriors to target an opponent’s life-centers.
