Shloka 316
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 |
Wika ni Sanjaya: Muli, tinuhog niya siya ng dalawampung palaso na may nakabaluktot na mga dugtungan. Sa mahigpit na tuntunin ng tungkulin sa digmaan, hindi siya nagpatumpik-tumpik; walang pahinga niyang pinatindi ang pag-atake, paulit-ulit na sinugatan ang prinsipe—anak ni Arjuna—sa pamamagitan ng mga palasong tumatama nang wasto habang umiigting ang labanan para sa tagumpay.
