Arjuna’s Response and the Renewed Battle
ततोथ्र्जुनेषूनिषुभिर्निरस्य द्रौणि: शितैरजुनवासुदेवौ । प्रच्छादयित्वा दिवि चन्द्रसूर्यो ननाद सो>म्भोद इवातपान्ते
tato ’rjunēṣūn iṣubhir nirasyāśvatthāmā śitair arjunavāsudevau | pracchādayitvā divi candrasūryau nanāda so ’mbhoda ivātapānte ||
三阇耶说道：随后，阿湿婆他摩以自己锋利的箭矢击落阿周那之箭，又以密集的箭雨遮蔽阿周那与婆苏提婆（奎师那）。他仿佛在天穹遮住月与日，发出深沉雷鸣般的咆哮，如同暑尽之时的雨云滚滚作响。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how overwhelming force and anger in war can ‘cover’ clarity and auspiciousness, symbolized by the obscuring of the sun and moon; it implicitly contrasts raw martial intensity with the need for disciplined, dharma-guided action.
Aśvatthāmā counters Arjuna’s missiles, then showers arrows so densely that Arjuna and Kṛṣṇa seem concealed; the sky itself appears darkened as if the sun and moon are covered, and Aśvatthāmā roars like a monsoon cloud.
