शल्यस्य पाण्डवसेनापीडनम् — Śalya’s Assault on the Pāṇḍava Host
with Omens and Bhīma’s Counter
सत्यसेन सुषेणं च द्वाभ्यां द्वाभ्यामविध्यत । शत्रुवीरोंका संहार करनेवाले नकुलने उन बाणोंका निवारण करके सत्यसेन और सुषेणको भी दो-दो बाणोंद्वारा घायल कर दिया
satyasenaṃ suṣeṇaṃ ca dvābhyāṃ dvābhyām avidhyat |
ସଞ୍ଜୟ କହିଲେ—ସେ ସତ୍ୟସେନ ଓ ସୁଷେଣଙ୍କୁ ଦୁଇଟି କରି ବାଣରେ ବିଦ୍ଧ କଲା। ଶତ୍ରୁବୀର-ସଂହାରକ ନକୁଳ ଆସୁଥିବା ସେଇ ବାଣଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ନିବାରି, ପ୍ରତିଉତ୍ତରରେ ସତ୍ୟସେନ ଓ ସୁଷେଣଙ୍କୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ଦୁଇଟି କରି ବାଣରେ ଆହତ କଲା।

Educational Q&A
Even in warfare, the ideal warrior acts with discipline: he defends effectively, responds proportionately, and channels strength toward duty rather than uncontrolled rage—an aspect of kṣatriya-dharma.
In the battle described by Sañjaya, Satyasena and Suṣeṇa are each struck with two arrows. Nakula counters by repelling the incoming arrows and then wounds both opponents with two arrows each, demonstrating tactical defense followed by measured counterattack.
