Arjuna Breaks the Encirclement; Bhīma Reinforces
तीक्ष्णैरग्निरविप्रख्यैर्नाराचैर्द शभिहत: । “देखो, भीमसेनने गरजते हुए निषादपुत्रकी तोमरसहित दोनों भुजाओंको काट दिया और अग्नि एवं सूर्यके समान तेजस्वी दस तीखे नाराचोंद्वारा उसे मार डाला

三阇耶说道：他被十支锋利如剃刀的那罗遮箭所射杀，箭光炽烈如火，辉耀分明。战阵喧腾之中，毗摩塞那怒吼着，连同其手中投枪（tomara）一并斩断那尼沙陀之子的双臂，继而以那如火如日的箭矢将其终结。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the grim ethic of battlefield duty (kṣatriya-dharma): in war, decisive action and martial superiority determine outcomes, often overriding ordinary compassion. It also reflects how rage and momentum in combat can lead to swift, irreversible destruction.
Sañjaya reports that Bhīma, roaring in battle, cuts off both arms of a Niṣāda’s son (who bears a tomara) and then kills him with ten sharp nārāca arrows described as blazing like fire and radiant like the sun.
