Shloka 123
एते कौरव संक्रन्दे शैनेयं पर्यवाकिरन् । फिर कर्णने दस, आपके पुत्रने सात, वृषसेनने दस और शकुनिने भी सात बाण मारे। कुरुराज! इन वीरोंने युद्धमें शिनिपौत्र सात्यकिपर चारों ओरसे बाणोंकी वर्षा आरम्भ कर दी
ete kaurava saṅkrande śaineyaṃ paryavākiran |
サンジャヤは言った。「その騒然たる戦いのさなか、カウラヴァの勇士たちは四方から Śaineya（サーティヤキ）に矢の雨を浴びせた。カルナは十本、王子は七本、ヴリシャセーナは十本、そしてシャクニもまた七本を放った。かくして、クル族の主よ、戦の押し合いへし合いの中で、彼らは飛び道具の雨により彼を包囲し始めた。」

The verse highlights the harsh reality of dharma-yuddha: even a renowned warrior can be overwhelmed when many opponents coordinate their attack. It underscores the ethical tension of war—valor and duty are tested not only by individual prowess but also by collective tactics and relentless violence.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that several Kaurava champions—Karna, Duryodhana, Vṛṣasena, and Śakuni—simultaneously strike Sātyaki (Śaineya), surrounding him with a concentrated rain of arrows in the thick of battle.
