Sañjaya nói: “Và cũng thế, khi nó lướt qua mọi đường thế và xoay tròn theo đủ mọi vòng thức đã định của môn chùy chiến, cây chùy của vua Śalya rực sáng như một tia chớp lớn, trông thật uy nghi lộng lẫy.”

Educational Q&A
Even in war, action is portrayed as governed by discipline and method: the warrior’s excellence is shown through controlled technique (mārgas and maṇḍalas) rather than mere brutality, reflecting the ideal of regulated kṣatriya conduct.
Sañjaya describes the spectacle of mace-combat technique: Śalya’s mace moves through various paths and circular patterns, and its brilliance is compared to a great lightning flash, emphasizing his prowess and the intensity of the duel-like moment.
