अर्जुनस्य दिग्विजयारम्भः — Arjuna Initiates the Northern Campaign and Secures Bhagadattta’s Tribute
बाहुपाशादिकं कृत्वा पादाहतशिरावुभौ । उरोहस्तं ततश्नक्रे पूर्णकुम्भौ प्रयुज्य तो,तत्पश्चात् वे 'बाहुपाश!श और “चरणपाश' आदि दाँव-पेंचोंसे काम लेते हुए एक-दूसरेपर पैरोंसे ऐसा भीषण प्रहार करने लगे कि शरीरकी नस-नाड़ियाँतक पीड़ित हो उठीं। तदनन्तर दोनोंने दोनोंपर 'पूर्णकुम्भ” नामक दाँव लगाया (दोनों हाथोंकी अंगुलियोंको परस्पर गूँथकर उन हाथोंकी हथेलियोंसे शत्रुके सिरको दबाया)। इसके बाद “उरोहस्त” का प्रयोग किया (छातीपर थप्पड़ मारना शुरू कर दिया)
bāhupāśādikaṃ kṛtvā pādāhataśirāv ubhau | urohastaṃ tataś cakre pūrṇakumbhau prayujya tau ||
Having first employed holds such as the “arm-noose,” the two then struck one another with their feet so fiercely that even the head was battered. Thereafter, both applied the maneuver called “pūrṇakumbha,” interlacing the fingers and pressing down upon the opponent’s head with the joined palms; and then they used “urohasta,” beginning to slap and strike upon the chest. The scene underscores how, once rivalry hardens into contest, skill and force can eclipse restraint, turning a display of prowess into a dangerous escalation.
