अस्त्रयुद्धे द्रौणिपार्थसंघर्षः — Karṇa’s Bhārgavāstra and the Search for Yudhiṣṭhira
Chapter 45
'हाथोंमें शंख और गदा धारण करनेवाले ये अत्यन्त पराक्रमी वसुदेवनन्दन श्रीकृष्ण वायुके समान वेगशाली श्वेत घोड़ोंको हाँकते हुए इधर ही आ रहे हैं ।।
etad kūjati gāṇḍīvaṁ vikṛṣṭaṁ savyasācinā | ete hastavatā muktā ghnanty amitrān śitāḥ śarāḥ ||
サンジャヤは言った。「これは、両手に等しく巧みな弓の達人アルジュナが引き絞ったガーンディーヴァ弓の、轟く弦音である。そして彼の熟練の手から放たれた鋭い矢は、敵を次々と討ち倒している。」

The verse underscores disciplined power in the service of dharma: Arjuna’s mastery is not portrayed as reckless aggression but as purposeful action against hostile combatants in a sanctioned battlefield context, reflecting the kṣatriya ideal of duty-bound courage.
Sañjaya describes audible signs of Arjuna’s advance and engagement: the Gāṇḍīva bow twangs as it is drawn, and the arrows released from Arjuna’s skilled hands are cutting down enemy warriors.
