Arjuna Breaks the Encirclement; Bhīma Reinforces
हत्वैनं पुनरायाति नागानन्यान् प्रहारिण:
hatvainaṃ punar āyāti nāgān anyān prahāriṇaḥ |
三阇耶说道：“杀了他之后，他们又折返再击。诛灭这位奈沙陀（Niṣāda）之子后，他们接连冲击一头又一头战象。且看毗摩塞那——如同一团黑雨云——以长枪与投枪（tomara）的连番齐发，斩倒群象，连肩上驭象者（mahout）端坐其上的也不放过。”

Educational Q&A
The verse foregrounds the grim ethic of battlefield duty: relentless action and repeated assault are praised as martial effectiveness, yet the mention of a Niṣāda’s son hints at the moral strain of war—where social boundaries and the value of life are tested amid the demands of kṣatriya combat.
Sañjaya reports that after killing a Niṣāda’s son, the fighters return to attack more elephants. Bhīma is depicted as overwhelmingly powerful, striking down successive war-elephants—along with their mounted mahouts—using spears and tomara-javelins, compared to a dense bank of dark clouds.
