Shloka 73
तथेति चोकक्त्वा त्वरिता: सम तेअ<र्जुनं जिघांसवो वीरतरा: समभ्ययु:
tatheti coktvā tvaritāḥ sametārjunaṁ jighāṁsavo vīratarāḥ samabhyayuḥ | śaraiś ca jaghnur yudhi taṁ mahārathā dhanañjayaṁ karṇa-nideśa-kāriṇaḥ ||
他们齐声道：“就这样！”那些无比骁勇的战士怀着急切与躁动，一齐涌上，欲取阿周那性命。遵从迦尔那之令，诸大车战士在战场上以箭雨击打“财胜者”檀那阇耶——纪律化的忠诚在战争的道德重压下，化作无情而连绵的暴烈。

After assenting (“so be it”), Karṇa’s allied great warriors rush forward together with the intent to kill Arjuna and begin striking him in battle with showers of arrows, acting explicitly under Karṇa’s orders.
