भीष्मवधाय प्रयाणम् — The Advance toward Bhīṣma and Counter-Engagements
दुर्योधन त्रिभिबाणिर्बाह्वोरुससि चार्पयत् | स तत्र शुशुभे राजा शिखरैगिरिराडिव
sañjaya uvāca | duryodhanaṃ tribhir bāṇair bāhv-orasi cārpayat | sa tatra śuśubhe rājā śikharair girirāḍ iva |
ສັນຊະຍະກ່າວວ່າ: ພີມເສນ ຜູ້ມີກຳລັງຍິ່ງ ໄດ້ຍິງລູກສອນສາມດອກ ຖືກທັງແຂນສອງຂ້າງ ແລະ ໜ້າອົກຂອງທຸຣະໂຍທະນະ. ຖືກບາດເຈັບດ້ວຍລູກສອນນັ້ນ ກະສັດຜູ້ນັ້ນກໍສ່ອງສະຫວ່າງໃນສະໜາມຮົບ ດັ່ງພູໃຫຍ່ທີ່ມີຍອດສາມຍອດ.

The verse reflects the kṣatriya battlefield ethic where endurance and visible wounds can signify valor; it also subtly shows how anger and rivalry sustain the cycle of violence, turning suffering into spectacle rather than prompting restraint.
In the Bhīma–Duryodhana exchange, Bhīma shoots three arrows that hit Duryodhana’s two arms and chest; Duryodhana, marked by the three impacts, is compared to a majestic mountain with three peaks.
