Shloka 73
अमोघा न्यपतन् बाणा: पितुस्ते मनुजेश्वर । नासज्जन्त शरीरेषु भीष्मचापच्युता: शरा:,मनुजेश्वर! आपके ताऊके द्वारा चलाये हुए बाण कभी खाली नहीं जाते थे। भीष्मके धनुषसे छूटे हुए सायक मनुष्योंके शरीरोंमें नहीं अटकते थे
amoghā nyapatan bāṇāḥ pitus te manujeśvara | nāsajjanta śarīreṣu bhīṣma-cāpa-cyutāḥ śarāḥ ||
ສັນຊະຍະ ກ່າວວ່າ: ໂອ ຈອມເຈົ້າແຫ່ງມະນຸດ! ລູກສອນຂອງພຣະບິດາຂອງພຣະອົງ ບໍ່ເຄີຍຕົກໄປໂດຍເປົ່າປະໂຫຍດ. ລູກສອນທີ່ຫຼຸດອອກຈາກຄັນທະນູຂອງພີສະມະ ບໍ່ຕິດຄ້າງໃນຮ່າງກາຍມະນຸດ—ມັນພຸ່ງຜ່ານໄປດ້ວຍຄວາມໄວ ແລະ ກຳລັງອັນແຮງກ້າ.

Sanjaya reports to King Dhritarashtra about the battlefield, praising the effectiveness of the arrows associated with Dhritarashtra’s side—especially those shot from Bhishma’s bow—describing them as unfailing and so penetrating that they do not remain lodged in the bodies they strike.
