Droṇa-parva Adhyāya 96: Sātyaki’s Line-Penetration, Encirclement, and Advance toward Arjuna
Devanagari script
नानाविधैश्न शस्त्रौधै: पात्यमानैर्महारणे । न संधि: शक््यते भेत्तुं वर्मबन्धस्य तस्य तु
Transliteration
nānāvidhaiś ca śastraughaiḥ pātyamānaiḥ mahāraṇe | na sandhiḥ śakyate bhettuṁ varmabandhasya tasya tu ||
Translation
Śarva said: “In that great battle, though showers of many kinds of weapons were being hurled down, the joint—indeed the vulnerable seam—of that man’s armour-fastening could not be broken. The onslaught proved futile against his protected binding, showing how, in war, mere force often fails before well-secured defence.”
