शक्ति चिक्षेप समरे रुक्मदण्डामयस्मयीम् । महाराज! तब क्रोधमें भरे हुए प्रतापी भीमसेनने समरांगणमें शकुनिपर सुवर्णमय दण्डवाली एक लोहेकी शक्ति चलायी

三阇耶说道：大王啊！战阵之中，有人掷出一柄“沙克提”（śakti）长枪——铁铸其身，金饰其柄。随后，怒火充盈的勇猛毗摩塞那也在战场上向沙昆尼投出一柄沉重的铁制沙克提，其杆以黄金装点。

In the ongoing battle, a śakti (spear-missile) is hurled; then Bhima, enraged, launches an iron śakti with a golden shaft toward Shakuni on the battlefield, as Sanjaya reports to Dhritarashtra.
