Shloka 65
स त॑ विवर्माणमशथोत्तमेषुभि: शितैश्नतुर्भि: कुपित: पराभिनत् | स विव्यथे>त्यर्थमरिप्रताडितो यथातुर: पित्तकफानिलज्वरै:
sa taṁ vivarmāṇam aśathottameṣubhiḥ śitaiś caturbhiḥ kupitaḥ parābhinat | sa vivyathe ’tyartham aripratāḍito yathāturaḥ pittakaphānilajvaraiḥ ||
サञ्जयは語った。怒りに燃え、鎧を失ったその敵に、剃刀のごとく鋭い最上の矢を四本、打ち込んだ。敵の打撃に深く傷つけられたその者は、胆・痰・風の三つの体液に由来する熱病に苦しむ病人のように、激痛に身をよじった。

The verse underscores the brutal immediacy of war: once protection is lost, injury follows swiftly, and suffering becomes unavoidable. The Ayurvedic simile (fever from disturbed doṣas) frames battlefield pain as a total bodily crisis, reminding the listener of the grave human cost that accompanies kṣatriya conflict.
Sanjaya describes a combat moment in which a furious warrior shoots four sharp arrows at an opponent who has become unarmored. The struck fighter is overwhelmed with pain and agitation, compared to a sick man burning with a tri-doṣic fever (pitta, kapha, and vāta).
