Arjuna’s Concentrated Archery and the Rout of the Kaurava Mahārathas
Gāṇḍīva-Nirghoṣa Episode
तामर्जुनस्तदा5<यान्तीं शक्ति हेमविभूषिताम् । वियद्गतां महोल्काभां चिच्छेद दशभि: शरै:
tām arjunas tadāyāntīṁ śaktiṁ hemavibhūṣitām | viyadgatāṁ maholkābhāṁ ciccheda daśabhiḥ śaraiḥ ||
Nang magkagayon, nakita ni Arjuna ang sibat na pinalamutian ng ginto na rumaragasa patungo sa kaniya—dumaraan sa himpapawid na tila isang dambuhalang bulalakaw—at pinutol niya iyon sa pamamagitan ng sampung palaso.
