उग्रास्त्वद्भुजनिर्मुक्ता मर्म भित्त्वा महाशरा:
ugrās tvad-bhuja-nirmuktā marma bhittvā mahāśarāḥ
สัญชัยกล่าวว่า “ศรใหญ่ดุร้ายที่ปล่อยจากแขนของท่าน ได้เจาะทะลุจุดมรณะ (มर्म) แล้วปักลึกเข้าไป”
संजय उवाच
The verse highlights the stark reality of warfare: when martial power is unleashed, it targets the most vulnerable points of life. Ethically, it underscores how kṣatriya conflict turns skill into lethal consequence, reminding the listener that violence—however sanctioned by battlefield duty—carries grave human cost.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the opponent is being struck by powerful arrows shot from the addressed warrior’s arms, and that these shafts are piercing vital spots—an image of decisive, damaging blows in the thick of the Karṇa Parva battle.
