三阇耶说道：“噢，帕尔塔，考罗婆的诸位大车战士以密集的兵刃齐发——以名为‘柱耳’（Sthūṇākarṇa）的箭雨，以名为‘因陀罗网’（Indrajāla）的迷幻阵势，并且还以‘帕舒帕塔’（Pāśupata）神兵——从四面八方将由提施提罗王笼罩围困。”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the escalation of war into overwhelming, even deceptive, force: when conflict abandons restraint, power (including illusion and divine weaponry) can eclipse clarity and safety. Implicitly, it warns that dharma in battle depends not only on strength but on disciplined limits and right intention.
Sanjaya reports to Dhritarashtra that Kaurava elite warriors are concentrating their attacks on King Yudhisthira, showering him with dense volleys of missiles and employing named weapon-formsSthunakarna, Indrajala, and the Pashupatato envelop and endanger him.
