तामन्तरिक्षे विततां शस्त्रवृष्टिं समन््तत: । व्यधमत् पाण्डवो बाणैस्तम: सूर्य इवांशुभि:
tām antarīkṣe vitatāṁ śastravṛṣṭiṁ samantataḥ | vyadhamat pāṇḍavo bāṇais tamaḥ sūrya ivāṁśubhiḥ ||
Sañjaya said: The Pāṇḍava dispersed that weapon-storm, spread across the sky on every side, with his arrows—just as the sun, with its rays, drives away darkness. The image underscores a warrior’s duty in battle: to meet overwhelming violence with disciplined skill, restoring clarity and order amid chaos.
