पुनर्विव्याध विंशत्या शरै: संनतपर्वभि: । कोसलनरेशने लोहेके बने हुए पाँच बाणोंसे अर्जुनकुमारको घायल करके पुनः झुकी हुई गाँठवाले बीस बाणोंद्वारा उन्हें क्षत-विक्षत कर दिया
sañjaya uvāca | punar vivyādha viṃśatyā śaraiḥ saṃnata-parvabhiḥ |
Sañjaya disse: Mais uma vez ele o traspassou com vinte flechas de juntas recurvadas. Na ética implacável do dever no campo de batalha, o combatente manteve a pressão sem pausa, ferindo o príncipe, filho de Arjuna, com dardos repetidos e bem dirigidos, enquanto a disputa pela vitória se intensificava.
