विप्रमुक्तास्तु ते योधा: फाल्गुनस्य रथं प्रति । ससृजुर्बाणसंघांश्व॒ शस्त्रसंघांश्व॒ मारिष
vipramuktās tu te yodhāḥ phālgunasya rathaṃ prati | sasṛjur bāṇasaṅghāṃś ca śastrasaṅghāṃś ca māriṣa ||
ତେବେ ସେଇ ଯୋଦ୍ଧାମାନେ ନିର୍ବାଧ ହୋଇ ଫାଲ୍ଗୁନ (ଅର୍ଜୁନ)ଙ୍କ ରଥ ପ୍ରତି ଘନ ବାଣସଂଘ ଓ ଶସ୍ତ୍ରସଂଘ ନିକ୍ଷେପ କରିଲେ, ହେ ମାରିଷ।
संजय उवाच
The verse highlights the momentum of warfare: when restraint falls away, combatants intensify violence through concentrated volleys. Ethically, it points to how collective aggression escalates suffering, even when framed as kṣatriya conduct.
Sañjaya reports that the opposing warriors direct heavy barrages—arrows and other weapons—toward Arjuna’s chariot, attempting to overwhelm him by massed missile attack.
