Karna disse: “Aqui, saraivadas de flechas—soltas densas, em padrões que cercam por todos os lados—foram disparadas pelo portador do Gāṇḍīva (Arjuna). São os projéteis de um grande guerreiro de carro, e estão sendo impelidos e intensificados sob o estímulo de Droṇa e do filho de Droṇa (Aśvatthāman).”
