अस्त्रयुद्धे द्रौणिपार्थसंघर्षः — Karṇa’s Bhārgavāstra and the Search for Yudhiṣṭhira
Chapter 45
'हाथोंमें शंख और गदा धारण करनेवाले ये अत्यन्त पराक्रमी वसुदेवनन्दन श्रीकृष्ण वायुके समान वेगशाली श्वेत घोड़ोंको हाँकते हुए इधर ही आ रहे हैं ।।
etad kūjati gāṇḍīvaṁ vikṛṣṭaṁ savyasācinā | ete hastavatā muktā ghnanty amitrān śitāḥ śarāḥ ||
三阇耶说道:“这便是双手同样娴熟的神射手阿周那拉满甘陀婆弓时,那回响震荡的弓弦之音;而他以巧手放出的锐利箭矢,正在击倒诸敌。”
संजय उवाच
The verse underscores disciplined power in the service of dharma: Arjuna’s mastery is not portrayed as reckless aggression but as purposeful action against hostile combatants in a sanctioned battlefield context, reflecting the kṣatriya ideal of duty-bound courage.
Sañjaya describes audible signs of Arjuna’s advance and engagement: the Gāṇḍīva bow twangs as it is drawn, and the arrows released from Arjuna’s skilled hands are cutting down enemy warriors.
