Adhyāya 14: Śalya’s Missile-Pressure and the Pāṇḍava Convergence (शल्यस्य शरवर्षम्)
युगं चैवानुकर्ष च शरभूतम भूत्तदा । प्रभो! अर्जुनके रथके पहिये, कूबर, ईषादण्ड, लगाम या जोते, जूआ और अनुकर्ष-- ये सब-के-सब उस समय बाणमय हो रहे थे
yugaṃ caivānukarṣaṃ ca śarabhūtam abhūt tadā | prabho! arjunake rathake pahiye, kūbara, īṣādaṇḍa, lagāma yā jote, jūā aura anukarṣa—ye saba-ke-saba usa samaya bāṇamaya ho rahe the |
ສັນຊະຍາກ່າວວ່າ: «ໂອ ພຣະອົງ! ໃນເວລານັ້ນ ແມ່ນແຕ່ຄານຍົກ ແລະ ເຊືອກລາກ ກໍຄືກັບຖືກເຮັດຈາກລູກສອນ. ລໍ້ລົດຮົບຂອງອາຣຊຸນ, ເສົາລົດ ແລະ ສ່ວນຄານຍົກ, ສາຍບັງຄັບ ແລະ ເຄື່ອງຜູກມ້າ, ຄານຍົກ ແລະ ສາຍລາກ—ທຸກຢ່າງກໍກຳລັງກາຍເປັນກອງລູກສອນ.»

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how, in unchecked conflict, even the tools meant to guide and restrain (reins, yoke, harness) are overwhelmed—suggesting an ethical warning: violence can consume the very structures that enable control, order, and right conduct.
Sañjaya describes the ferocity of the fighting: arrows are so dense that Arjuna’s chariot equipment—wheels, pole, yoke, reins, and traces—appears as if transformed into arrows, emphasizing the battle’s intensity and danger.
