Shloka 22
तत: शतानीकमविध्यदायसै- स्त्रिभि: शरै: कर्णसुतोअ्डर्जुनं त्रिभि: । त्रिभिश्व भीम॑ नकुलं च सप्तभि- ज॑नार्दनं द्वादशभिश्न॒ सायकै:
tataḥ śatānīkam avidhyad āyasais tribhiḥ śaraiḥ karṇasuto 'rjunaṃ tribhiḥ | tribhiś ca bhīmaṃ nakulaṃ ca saptabhir janārdanaṃ dvādaśabhiś ca sāyakaiḥ ||
三阇耶说道：随后，迦尔那之子以三支铁镞之箭射伤了沙多尼迦。继而又以三箭贯穿阿周那，以三箭贯穿毗摩塞那，以七箭贯穿那俱罗，并以十二矢射中阇那尔达那（奎师那）。此景昭示战势步步升级、毫不稍歇；在战争严酷的法则之下，武艺与忠诚皆受考验。

Sañjaya reports that Karṇa’s son Vṛṣasena shoots multiple opponents in quick succession—Śatānīka, then Arjuna, Bhīma, Nakula, and even Kṛṣṇa (Janārdana)—marking an intense exchange of missiles in the Karṇa Parva battle.
