Droṇa-parva Adhyāya 95 — Sātyaki’s Breakthrough and the Routing of Allied Contingents
Devanagari script
तावर्जुनो मुहूर्तेन शरै: संनतपर्वभि: । प्रैषयत् परमक्रुद्धो यमस्य सदन प्रति,तब अर्जुनने अत्यन्त कुपित हो झुकी हुई गाँठवाले बाणोंद्वारा दो ही घड़ीमें उन दोनोंको यमराजके घर भेज दिया
Transliteration
tāv arjuno muhūrtena śaraiḥ saṃnataparvabhiḥ | praiṣayat paramakruddho yamasya sadanaṃ prati ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: Then Arjuna, seized by intense wrath, swiftly dispatched those two with arrows whose joints were bent—sending them to Yama’s abode, the realm of death. The verse underscores the grim moral weight of battlefield action: even a righteous warrior’s duty, when driven by anger, culminates in irreversible destruction.
