सर्वपारशवीं चैव शक्ति शूर: सुदक्षिण: । सघपण्टां प्राहिणोद् घोरां क्रुद्धो गाण्डीवधन्चने,शूरवीर सुदक्षिणने कुपित होकर पूर्णतः लोहेकी बनी हुई घण्टायुक्त भयंकर शक्ति गाण्डीवधारी अर्जुनपर चलायी
Transliteration
sañjaya uvāca | sarvapāraśavīṃ caiva śaktiṃ śūraḥ sudakṣiṇaḥ | sa-ghaṇṭāṃ prāhiṇod ghorāṃ kruddho gāṇḍīvadhanvane ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: Enraged, the valiant Sudakṣiṇa hurled at Arjuna, the bearer of the Gāṇḍīva bow, a dreadful iron spear-weapon, fully forged of metal and fitted with a bell. The scene underscores how wrath in battle drives warriors to unleash terrifying, specialized weapons, intensifying the moral weight of violence even amid kṣatriya duty.
