Karṇa-parva Adhyāya 58 — Arjuna’s Arrow-Storm and Relief of Bhīmasena
तमापतन्तं सहसा घोररूप॑ विशाम्पते । चिच्छेद शतधा राजज्शैनेय: कृतहस्तवत्,प्रजानाथ! नरेश! सहसा आते हुए उस भयंकर बाणके सात्यकिने सिद्धहस्त योद्धाकी भाँति सौ टुकड़े कर डाले
tam āpatantaṃ sahasā ghorarūpaṃ viśāṃpate | ciccheda śatadhā rājñaḥ śaineyaḥ kṛtahastavat || prajānātha nareśa |
Sañjaya thưa: Tâu chúa tể muôn dân, tâu Đại vương—khi mũi tên ghê gớm ấy bất thần lao tới, Śaineya (Sātyaki), như bậc thầy binh khí, đã chém nó thành trăm mảnh.
संजय उवाच
