After Irāvān’s fall: Ghaṭotkaca’s roar and the clash with Duryodhana
अभ्यधावत् ततो राजा श्रुतायुषमरिंदमम् । विनिघ्नन् सायकैस्ती&#णैर्नवभिरनतपर्वभि:,उस समय झुकी हुई गाँठवाले नौ तीखे सायकोंद्वारा शत्रुदमन श्रुतायुको घायल करते हुए राजा युधिष्ठिरने उसपर धावा किया
abhya-dhāvat tato rājā śrutāyuṣam ariṃdamam | vinighnan sāyakais tīkṣṇair navabhir anata-parvabhiḥ ||
三阇耶说道：于是尤提施提罗王向舒罗多优斯——降伏诸敌者——猛然冲杀，以九支锋利之箭（其节处下曲）在战阵逼仄之中射伤了他。此景昭示：君王虽奉义法，亦为战争之责所迫，须以武力应对侵逼，履行刹帝利之法（kṣatriya-dharma）的严酷本分。
