Shloka 316
पुनर्विव्याध विंशत्या शरै: संनतपर्वभि: । कोसलनरेशने लोहेके बने हुए पाँच बाणोंसे अर्जुनकुमारको घायल करके पुनः झुकी हुई गाँठवाले बीस बाणोंद्वारा उन्हें क्षत-विक्षत कर दिया
sañjaya uvāca | punar vivyādha viṃśatyā śaraiḥ saṃnata-parvabhiḥ |
サンジャヤは言った。「彼は再び、節の曲がった矢二十本で相手を射抜いた。戦場の義務は容赦なく、戦士は一息も入れず攻めを重ね、狙い澄ました矢を次々と放ってアルジュナの子たる王子を傷つけ、勝利をめぐる争いはいよいよ激しさを増した。」
