Book 9 (Śalya-parva), Adhyāya 13 — Arjuna’s Arrow-storm and the Drauṇi Confrontation
मद्राणामधिपं शूरं शरैर्विव्याध पञ्चभि: । जब धर्मपुत्र युधिष्ठिर शल्यके बाणोंसे पीड़ित हो गये, तब क्रोधमें भरे हुए सात्यकिने शूरवीर मद्रराजपर पाँच बाणोंका प्रहार किया
sañjaya uvāca | madrāṇām adhipaṃ śūraṃ śarair vivyādha pañcabhiḥ |
サンジャヤは言った。ユディシュティラ—法の子—がシャリヤの矢に苦しめられるのを見て、サーティヤキは怒りに燃え、マドラ国の勇将たる主に五本の矢を浴びせた。この場面は、戦の混沌の中で、盟友への忠義と正しき者を守らんとする衝動が憤怒となって噴き上がり、迅速な報復を駆り立てることを示している。
