एकैकं पज्चविंशत्या दर्शयन् पाणिलाघवम् | दुर्मषणने बीस, चित्रसेनने पाँच, दुर्मुखने नौ, दुःसहने सात, विविंशतिने पाँच तथा दुःशासनने तीन बाणोंसे उन सबको बींध डाला। राजेन्द्र! तब शत्रुओंको संताप देनेवाले धष्टद्युम्नने अपने हाथोंकी फुर्ती दिखाते हुए दुर्योधन आदिमेंसे प्रत्येकको पचीस-पचीस बाणोंसे घायल किया

三阇耶说道：“他显出惊人的手上功夫，持箭尽皆贯穿诸人——射杜尔玛尔沙那二十矢，射奇特罗塞那五矢，射杜尔穆迦九矢，射杜赫萨哈七矢，射毗毗姆沙提五矢，射杜赫沙萨那三矢。王中之最啊，随后那折磨敌人的德里什塔丢摩那又展其疾速之技，使都律欧陀那等人各各中二十五矢而伤。”

The verse underscores disciplined martial conduct: prowess is shown through controlled, precise action rather than indiscriminate violence. In the epic’s ethical frame, such measured skill aligns with kṣatriya-duty—using force purposefully within the rules and aims of battle.
Sañjaya reports that Dhṛṣṭadyumna rapidly shoots and pierces several Kaurava warriors with specified numbers of arrows, and then wounds Duryodhana and others with twenty-five arrows each, emphasizing his speed and battlefield dominance.
