Book 9 (Śalya-parva), Adhyāya 13 — Arjuna’s Arrow-storm and the Drauṇi Confrontation
विव्याध भृशसंक्रुद्धस्तं वै भूयस्त्रिभि: शरै: । साथ ही अत्यन्त कुपित होकर उन्होंने झुकी हुई गाँठवाले बाणसे उनके सारथिको भी पीट दिया और उन्हें भी पुनः तीन बाणोंसे घायल किया
vivyādha bhṛśa-saṅkruddhas taṃ vai bhūyas tribhiḥ śaraiḥ |
サンジャヤは言った。「激しい憤怒に燃えて、彼はその男をさらに三本の矢で射貫いた。同じ怒りの奔流のまま、敵の御者をも、節のある曲がり矢で打ち据え、さらに三本の矢で再び傷つけた。」

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how uncontrolled anger (krodha) escalates harm in war, extending violence even to supporting figures like charioteers; it implicitly contrasts disciplined kṣatriya conduct with rage-driven excess.
Sañjaya reports that a warrior, intensely enraged, strikes his opponent again with three arrows, and then also attacks the opponent’s charioteer, wounding him as well—depicting a rapid, retaliatory exchange in the chariot-battle setting.
