Jayadrathasya varaprāptiḥ (जयद्रथस्य वरप्राप्तिः) — Jayadratha’s boon and the restraint of the Pāṇḍava advance
विमुखीकृत्य कर्ण तु सौभद्र: कड़कपत्रिभि: | अन्यानपि महेष्वासांस्तूर्णमेवाभिदुद्रुवे,राजन्! अपने भाईको मारा गया देख कर्णको बड़ी व्यथा हुई। इधर सुभद्राकुमार अभिमन्युने गीधकी पाँखवाले बाणोंद्वारा कर्णको युद्धसे भगाकर दूसरे-दूसरे महाधनुर्धर वीरोंपर भी तुरंत ही धावा किया

vimukhīkṛtya karṇaṃ tu saubhadraḥ kaḍakapatribhiḥ |
anyān api maheṣvāsāṃs tūrṇam evābhidudruve, rājan ||
Sañjaya said: Having turned Karṇa away from the fight—driving him back with arrows feathered like a vulture’s wings—the son of Subhadrā (Abhimanyu) swiftly rushed upon the other great bowmen as well, O King. The scene underscores the relentless momentum of battle: grief and anger rise on one side, while on the other a young warrior presses his advantage without pause, embodying the harsh ethic of kṣatriya warfare where hesitation can cost lives.
