Shloka 107
कर्णेन युधिष्ठिरानीकविदारणम् / Karṇa’s Breach of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Battle-Line
अथाधिज्यं धनु: कृत्वा शर्व: संधाय तं शरम्
athādhijyaṃ dhanuḥ kṛtvā śarvaḥ saṃdhāya taṃ śaram
Pagkaraan, si Śarva, matapos higpitan nang lubos ang kanyang busog, ay ikinabit nang matatag ang palasong iyon—isang larawan ng lakas na sinadya at may disiplina: hindi kapangyarihang padalus-dalos, kundi lakas na itinuturo ng matibay na pasya sa gitna ng digmaan.

The verse highlights controlled strength: true power is shown through readiness, precision, and restraint—force made purposeful rather than impulsive, especially in a moral and strategic crisis like war.
Bhīṣma describes Śarva (Śiva) preparing to act: he fully strings his bow and sets an arrow, signaling imminent engagement and the decisive turn that follows from divine or heroic intervention.
