अध्याय ९१ — शैनेयस्य गजानीकभेदनं जलसंधवधश्च
Chapter 91: Sātyaki breaks the elephant array and slays Jalasaṃdha
ते चापि रथिन: सर्वे त्वरिता: कृतहस्तवत् । अवाकिरन् बाणजालैस्तत्र कृष्णधनंजयौ,उधर उन समस्त कौरव रथियोंने भी सिद्धहस्त पुरुषोंकी भाँति शीघ्रतापूर्वक अपने बाणसमूहोंद्वारा वहाँ श्रीकृष्ण और अर्जुनको आच्छादित कर दिया
te cāpi rathinaḥ sarve tvaritāḥ kṛtahastavat | avākiran bāṇajālais tatra kṛṣṇadhanañjayau ||
サञ्जयは語った。するとクル族の車戦士たちもまた、成就した弓の達人のごとく迅速かつ正確に動き、そこに濃密な矢の網を降らせて、クリシュナとダナञ्जय(アルジュナ)を覆い尽くした。この場面は、戦場の技がもつ非情で無名の凶烈さを示す――熟達と速度が一瞬、分別を凌駕し、最上の英雄でさえ連携した力によって試されるのである。

The verse highlights how disciplined skill and coordinated effort can create overwhelming pressure even against the greatest heroes; ethically, it points to the battlefield reality where prowess is often deployed without pause, testing steadiness, judgment, and resilience under sudden massed aggression.
Sañjaya reports that the Kaurava chariot-fighters rapidly unleash a concentrated barrage—‘nets’ of arrows—so dense that Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna appear covered/obscured by the missile storm in that moment of the battle.
