Shloka 7
द्रोणस्य सुपर्णव्यूहः — युधिष्ठिरप्रत्यव्यूहः
Droṇa’s Suparṇa Formation and Yudhiṣṭhira’s Counter-array
अथ नारायणा: क्रुद्धा विविधायुधपाणय: । छादयन्त: शरव्रातै: परिवद्रुर्धन॑जयम्
atha nārāyaṇāḥ kruddhā vividhāyudhapāṇayaḥ | chādayantaḥ śaravrātaiḥ parivadrur dhanañjayam ||
サञ्जयは語った。するとナーラーヤナたちは憤激し、さまざまな武器を手にして、ダナञ्जヤ（アルジュナ）の周囲へ押し寄せ、濃密な矢の雨で彼を覆い尽くした。この場面は、戦において怒りと集団の力が、ひととき最上の勇士さえも圧し隠し、混沌のただ中での不動心と正しい振る舞いを試すことを示している。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how anger-driven aggression and massed violence can engulf even the most capable individual; the ethical challenge in such moments is to retain composure, discernment, and commitment to one’s duty (dharma) rather than being ruled by rage or panic.
Sañjaya reports that a group called the Nārāyaṇas, furious and heavily armed, rush in and surround Arjuna, showering him with thick volleys of arrows so that he is, as it were, covered over by missiles.
