Abhimanyu’s Fall and the Battlefield Aftermath
संदधानस्य विशिखान् शीघ्रं चैव विमुज्चत: । “इस पुरुषसिंह पाण्डवपुत्रकी शीघ्रता तो देखो। शीघ्रतापूर्वक बाणोंका संधान करते और छोड़ते समय रथके मार्गोंमें इसके धनुषका मण्डलमात्र दिखायी देता है
saṃdadhānasya viśikhān śīghraṃ caiva vimucyataḥ |
サンジャヤは言った。「見よ、この人中の雄牛たるパーンダヴァの王子の迅さを。矢をつがえ放つその速さゆえ、戦車の進む道筋には、弓の描く円環のひとすじだけが見えるのだ。」

The verse highlights kṣatriya excellence expressed as disciplined speed and precision in battle—skill used in service of one’s duty, where mastery of action (karma-kauśala) becomes a mark of heroic conduct.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra the astonishing rapidity of a Pāṇḍava prince in combat: he fits arrows and releases them so fast that observers perceive mainly the whirling arc of his bow as the chariot moves through the battlefield lanes.
