Shloka 27
Duryodhana’s Anxiety, Bhīṣma’s Reassurance, and Renewed Mobilization (दुर्योधनचिन्ता–भीष्मप्रत्याश्वासन–सेनानिर्गमनम्)
स विद्धो विक्षरन् रक्त शत्रुसंवारणं महत् । चिच्छेद चित्रसेनस्य चित्र कार्मुकमार्जुनि:
sa viddho vikṣaran raktaṁ śatru-saṁvāraṇaṁ mahat | ciccheda citrasenasya citra-kārmukam arjuniḥ ||
三阇耶说道：虽被两名对手击中、创口流血，阿毗曼纽——阿周那之子——仍斩断了质多罗塞那那张宏大奇异、素以遏敌闻名的神弓。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights steadfast courage and disciplined action under suffering: even while wounded and bleeding, the warrior focuses on neutralizing the opponent’s capacity to harm (cutting the bow), embodying kṣatriya resolve and presence of mind in crisis.
In the battle narration by Sañjaya, Abhimanyu, though struck by two adversaries and bleeding, severs Chitrasena’s powerful, enemy-checking bow, thereby weakening Chitrasena’s offensive capability.
