Bhīṣma–Karṇa Saṃvāda on the Śaraśayyā (भीष्म–कर्ण संवादः शरशय्यायाम्)
अर्जुनस्तु सुशर्माणं विद्ध्वा बहुभिरायसै: । व्यधमत् तस्य तत्सैन्यं महाभ्राणि यथानिल:
arjunas tu suśarmāṇaṃ viddhvā bahubhir āyasaiḥ | vyadhamat tasya tat sainyaṃ mahābhrāṇi yathānilaḥ ||
三阇耶说道:阿周那以多支铁杆箭射伤苏舍尔摩,继而摧裂其军,如狂风撕碎巨云,使之四散成片。

The verse highlights disciplined action in accordance with one’s role: Arjuna’s prowess is portrayed as purposeful and effective, suggesting that in a dharmic framework even fierce combat is to be carried out with focus and responsibility rather than uncontrolled fury.
Sañjaya describes Arjuna wounding Suśarmā with many iron arrows and then breaking up Suśarmā’s troops, using the image of wind shredding massive clouds to convey the speed and overwhelming force of Arjuna’s assault.
