Shloka 28
तां च चिक्षेप संक्रुद्ध: फाल्गुनस्य रथं प्रति । तामापतन्तीं सम्प्रेक्ष्य ज्वलन्तीमशनीमिव
sañjaya uvāca |
tāṃ ca cikṣepa saṅkruddhaḥ phālgunasya rathaṃ prati |
tām āpatantīṃ samprekṣya jvalantīm aśanīm iva |
atāḍayan raṇe bhīṣmaṃ sahitāḥ sarvasṛñjayāḥ |
saṅkruddho bharataśreṣṭha bhīṣmabāhupraveritām |
(arthataḥ) arjunaḥ pāṇḍavān ānandayan pañca bhallān gṛhītvā kupitaḥ pañcadhā śaktiṃ ciccheda |
संजय म्हणाला—क्रुद्ध भीष्माने ती शक्ती फाल्गुन अर्जुनाच्या रथाकडे फेकली. ती जणू ज्वलंत वज्रासारखी येताना पाहून, पांडवांना आनंद देणाऱ्या अर्जुनाने ‘भल्ल’ नावाचे पाच तीक्ष्ण बाण हातात घेऊन, क्रोधाने त्या शक्तीचे पाच तुकडे केले।

Educational Q&A
Even in the heat of righteous warfare, protection and restraint are expressed through disciplined skill: Arjuna neutralizes a deadly threat precisely, preventing wider harm rather than escalating indiscriminately.
Bhīṣma, enraged, hurls a śakti toward Arjuna’s chariot. As it approaches like a blazing thunderbolt, the Sṛñjayas collectively assail Bhīṣma, while Arjuna counters by taking five bhalla arrows and slicing the incoming weapon into five pieces.
