Droṇa-parva Adhyāya 125: Duryodhana’s despair and vow after Jayadratha’s fall (जयद्रथवधे दुर्योधनविलापः)
दुःशासनस्सत्रिभिवविद्ध्वा पुनर्विव्याध पठ्चभि: । भरतवंशी महाराज! इसके बाद दुःशासनने हँसते हुए-से ही वहाँ तीन बाणोंद्वारा सात्यकिको घायल करके पुनः पाँच बाणोंसे बींध डाला
sañjaya uvāca | duḥśāsanaḥ satribhir aviddhvā punar vivyādha pañcabhiḥ | bharatavaṃśī mahārāja |
サンジャヤは言った。バラタの大王よ！ そののちドゥフシャーサナは、まるで嘲り笑うかのように、その場でサーティヤキを三本の矢で傷つけ、さらに五本の矢で再び射貫いた。この場面は、戦において心が硬化し、名高き武人に対してさえ、暴力に残酷さと嘲弄が伴い得ることを示している。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how warfare can erode ethical restraint: violence may be accompanied by derision, revealing inner dispositions (saṃskāra) and the moral cost of conflict even when framed as kṣatriya-duty.
Sañjaya reports to the king that Duḥśāsana strikes Sātyaki with three arrows and then again with five, intensifying the assault in the midst of the Kurukṣetra battle.
