Shloka 10
तया हतः पतितो वेपमानो दुःशासनो गदया वेगवत्या । विध्वस्तवर्मा भरणाम्बरस्रग् विचेष्टमानो भृशवेदनातुर:
tayā hataḥ patito vepamāno duḥśāsano gadayā vegavatyā | vidhvastavarmā bharaṇāmbarasrag viceṣṭamāno bhṛśavedanāturaḥ ||
संजय म्हणाला— त्या वेगवान, प्रचंड गदेच्या आघाताने दुःशासन जमिनीवर कोसळला व थरथर कापू लागला. त्याचे कवच चुरडून गेले; दागिने, हार आणि वस्त्रे विस्कळीत झाली. तीव्र वेदनेने व्याकुळ होऊन तो तडफडत पडला होता.

The verse underscores the stark moral reality of war: physical might and arrogance collapse into vulnerability and pain. It implicitly warns that violent action culminates in suffering, and that battlefield glory is inseparable from grievous human cost.
Sañjaya reports that Duḥśāsana is struck by a fast, powerful mace-blow, falls to the ground trembling, his armor broken and his ornaments and clothing disordered, and he writhes in severe pain.
