बभ्रुवाहन-धनंजययोः संग्रामः
Babhruvāhana and Dhanaṃjaya’s engagement at Maṇipūra
चिच्छेद निशितैर्बाणैरन्तरा स धनंजय: । विषधर सर्पोके समान उन कठोर बाणोंको अपनी ओर आते देख अर्जुनने तीखे सायकोंद्वारा उन सबको बीचसे काट डाला
ciccheda niśitair bāṇair antarā sa dhanañjayaḥ | viṣadhara-sarpokaiḥ samānān kaṭhora-bāṇān ātmanaḥ prati āgacchataḥ dṛṣṭvā arjunena tīkṣṇaiḥ sāyakair tān sarvān madhyataś chittvā nipātitāḥ ||
毗湿摩波耶那说道：见那些坚硬的箭矢——如同含毒之蛇——飞向自己，阿周那（财胜者）立刻以锋利如刃的箭矢将其尽数在半空中截断。此景彰显战阵中的自律与精熟：以精准的掌控迎击力量，而非以盲目的怒火硬撼，使伤害未及临身便已消弭。

Educational Q&A
Even in violent conflict, dharma is expressed through restraint and precision: Arjuna neutralizes danger before it harms, showing controlled strength rather than uncontrolled aggression.
Arjuna sees a volley of hard, deadly arrows rushing toward him and cuts them apart in mid-air with his own sharp arrows, preventing them from reaching him.
