Санджая сказал: В ярости, вновь усилив натиск, он снова пронзил их острыми, тщательно отточенными стрелами самых разных видов — сотнями, да тысячами — нанося глубокие раны.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the escalation of violence driven by anger: once rage takes hold, the act of harming becomes repetitive and amplified (hundreds and thousands of arrows). In the Mahabharata's ethical frame, it warns how even duty-bound warfare can be morally perilous when fueled by uncontrolled passion.
Sanjaya reports that a warrior (implied by context) attacks again, striking the opposing side repeatedly with many varieties of sharp arrows in vast numbers, causing severe injuries.
