The verse underscores the kṣatriya world of the epic: duty-bound confrontation where endurance and steadiness under attack become moral tests, even as violence intensifies.
In Sañjaya’s battlefield report, an unnamed warrior strikes Bhīma with ten arrows, indicating a direct exchange of missile-weapons and the mounting pressure of the fight.
