Bhīṣma’s request for water; Arjuna’s Parjanya-astra; counsel to Duryodhana on reconciliation
स तान् सर्वान् महाराज राजमानान् पृथक् पृथक्,महाराज! तब शत्रुवीरोंका नाश करनेवाले पाण्डुकुमार वीर भीमसेनने सम्पूर्ण जगत्के उन समस्त राजाओं, प्रमुख वीरों तथा आपके महारथी पुत्रोंको पृथक्ू-पृथक् बाण मारकर समरांगणमें घायल कर दिया

三阇耶说道：大王啊，毗摩塞那——般度之勇子、灭敌豪杰者——随即将箭矢一一射向那些光耀的诸王、最杰出的战士，乃至陛下那些大车战之子。各人皆被其箭分别贯中，战场之上尽皆负伤。

The verse highlights the harsh ethical tension of dharma in war: even illustrious kings and renowned warriors become targets when one is bound to fight for one’s side. It points to the impersonal, consequence-driven nature of battle, where valor and duty propel actions that cause suffering.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Bhīmasena, fighting for the Pāṇḍavas, individually strikes and wounds many shining kings, leading warriors, and Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s own great chariot-fighter sons on the battlefield.
