Shloka 25
कर्णार्जुनयुद्ध-प्रवृत्तिः
Renewal of the Karṇa–Arjuna Engagement at Day’s End
तेषामष्टौ महानागांश्षतुःषष्ट्या सुतेजनै: । सहदेवो जघानाशु तेडपतन् सह सादिभि:,सहदेवने उनमेंसे आठ महागजोंको चौंसठ पैने बाणोंसे शीघ्र मार डाला। वे सब-के-सब सवारोंके साथ धराशायी हो गये
teṣām aṣṭau mahānāgān ṣaṭṣaṣṭyā sutejanaiḥ | sahadevo jaghānāśu te ’patann saha sādibhiḥ ||
サञ्जयは語った。サハデーヴァは剃刀のごとく鋭い六十四の矢をもって、八頭の巨大な戦象をたちまち射ち倒した。象はことごとく騎乗の者もろとも大地に崩れ落ちた。この光景は、戦場の技がもつ冷厳な効率を示す。勇気と義務（ダルマ）は、戦の大いなる道義的重みのただ中で、断乎たる致命の一撃として遂行されるのである。

The verse highlights the kṣatriya ideal of decisive competence in battle—acting swiftly and effectively when duty demands—while implicitly reminding the listener of war’s heavy cost, as even mighty beings and their riders fall together.
Sañjaya reports that Sahadeva rapidly brings down eight great war-elephants using sixty-four sharp arrows, and the elephants collapse along with their riders.
