Shloka 25
दिशो<नुभ्रमत: सर्वाः सव्यदक्षिणमस्यतः । सतत दृश्यते युद्धे सायकासनमण्डलम्,अर्जुन सब दिशाओंमें बार-बार घूमते हुए दाँयें-बाँयें बाण चला रहे थे; इसलिये युद्धमें अलातचक्रकी भाँति उनका मण्डलाकार धनुष सदा दृष्टिगोचर होता रहता था
diśo 'nubhramataḥ sarvāḥ savyadakṣiṇam asyataḥ | satataṃ dṛśyate yuddhe sāyakāsanamaṇḍalam |
अर्जुन सर्व दिशांनी वारंवार फिरत डावीकडे-उजवीकडे आलटून-पालटून बाण सोडत होता; म्हणून रणांगणात अलातचक्राप्रमाणे त्याच्या धनुष्य-बाणांचा वर्तुळाकार आवर्त सतत दिसत राहिला.

Arjuna is maneuvering rapidly in all directions on the battlefield, releasing arrows to both left and right in swift succession, so that the motion of his bow-and-arrow arc appears as a continuous circular ring, like a spinning firebrand.
