Chapter 30: Formation Disruption, Competing War-Cries, and Nīla’s Fall
Droṇa-parva
ततो दिव्यास्त्रविच्छूर: कुन्तीपुत्रो धनंजय: । विसृजन्निषुजालानि सहसा तान्यताडयत्,तदनन्तर दिव्यास्त्रोंके ज्ञाता शूरवीर कुन्तीपुत्र धनंजय सहसा बाणसमूहोंकी वर्षा करते हुए उन सबको मारने लगे
tato divyāstravicchūraḥ kuntīputro dhanañjayaḥ | visṛjanniṣujālāni sahasā tānyatāḍayat ||
サञ्जयは語った――そのときクンティーの子ダナञ्जయ（アルジュナ）、天界の武器（divyāstra）に通暁する者は、たちまち矢の網を濃密に放ち、敵どもを打ち倒した。これは、神威に支えられた戦の恐るべき効率を示す――熟達と決意が、戦場で生死を瞬く間に裁くのである。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how extraordinary power (divyāstra) in war magnifies responsibility: skill and divine weaponry can end conflicts swiftly, but they also intensify the ethical weight borne by the warrior who chooses to deploy them.
Sañjaya narrates that Arjuna, famed for mastery of celestial weapons, suddenly releases a heavy barrage—‘nets’ of arrows—and strikes down the opposing fighters indicated by the prior context of the battle.
