Āśvamedhika Parva, Adhyāya 77 — Saindhava resistance, Arjuna’s restraint, and Duḥśalā’s supplication

ततो हाहाकृतं सर्व कौन्तेये शरपीडिते । त्रैलोक्यम भवद्‌ राजन्‌ रविरासीच्च निष्प्रभ:,राजन! कुन्तीकुमार अर्जुन जब इस प्रकार बाणोंसे पीड़ित हो गये, तब उनकी ऐसी अवस्था देख त्रिलोकी हाहाकार कर उठी और सूर्यदेवकी प्रभा फीकी पड़ गयी

tato hāhākṛtaṃ sarvaṃ kaunteye śarapīḍite | trailokyaṃ bhavad rājan ravir āsīc ca niṣprabhaḥ ||

แล้วแต่บัดนั้น โอ พระราชา เมื่อกุนตีบุตร (อรชุน) ถูกลูกศรบีบคั้นทรมาน ก็เกิดเสียงโกลาหลร้องอื้ออึงไปทั่ว ครั้นเห็นสภาพของเขา ไตรโลกก็ปั่นป่วน และแม้พระสุริยะก็ประหนึ่งสิ้นรัศมี

Educational Q&A

The verse underscores that the suffering of a dharmic hero is not merely personal but has moral and cosmic resonance; violence against the righteous is portrayed as a disturbance that echoes through the worlds, marked by ominous signs.

Arjuna, identified as Kaunteya, is grievously afflicted by arrows. The scene is described with hyperbolic, omen-like imagery: the three worlds cry out in alarm, and even the Sun appears dim, emphasizing the severity of the moment.
