स च्छिन्नधनुरादाय रथशरक्ति प्रतापवान् । प्राहिणोत् पाण्डुपुत्राय प्रदीप्तामशनीमिव,इस तरह धनुष कट जानेपर प्रतापी कृपाचार्यने पाण्डुपुत्र अर्जुनपर वज्रकी भाँति प्रज्वलित रथशक्ति चलायी

ဝိုင်ရှမ္ပာယနက ပြောသည်– သူ၏ လေးကို ဖြတ်တောက်ခံရသော်လည်း သတ္တိပြင်းထန်သော ကೃပာစာရျက ရထားလှံကို ကိုင်ယူကာ ပဏ္ဍု၏သား အర్జုနထံသို့ မိုးကြိုးကဲ့သို့ တောက်လောင်လျက် ပစ်လွှတ်하였다။

Even when a primary means is lost (the bow being cut), a warrior committed to his duty adapts without surrendering; the verse highlights steadfastness and resourcefulness within the harsh ethics of battlefield conduct.
In the Virāṭa war episode, after his bow is cut, Kṛpācārya immediately takes up a chariot-spear and hurls it at Arjuna, described as blazing like a thunderbolt, intensifying the duel.
