Abhimanyu’s Fall and the Battlefield Aftermath
तथेतरान् महेष्वासान् दशभिर्दशभि: शरै: । प्रत्यविध्यदसम्भ्रान्तस्तदद्भुतमिवाभवत्,इतना ही नहीं, उसने बिना किसी घबराहटके दस-दस बाणोंद्वारा अन्य महाधनुर्धरोंको भी आहत कर दिया। वह अद्भुत-सी बात थी
tathetarān maheṣvāsān daśabhir daśabhiḥ śaraiḥ | pratyavidhyad asambhrāntas tad adbhutam ivābhavat ||
ಅದೇ ರೀತಿಯಾಗಿ ಅವನು ಅಲ್ಪವೂ ಅಲುಗದೆ ಇತರ ಮಹಾಧನುರ್ಧರರನ್ನೂ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಬ್ಬನನ್ನು ಹತ್ತು ಹತ್ತು ಬಾಣಗಳಿಂದ ಭೇದಿಸಿದನು; ಅದು ಅద్భುತವೆನಿಸಿತು।

The verse highlights the ethical-psychological ideal of steadiness under pressure: in the chaos of war, mastery is shown not only by force but by asambhrānti—clarity and lack of panic—so that action remains controlled rather than driven by fear.
Sañjaya reports that the warrior being described continues his assault: he strikes the remaining great archers as well, allotting ten arrows to each, and does so calmly. Observers regard the performance as extraordinary, almost miraculous.
