दूसरेकी बायीं भुजा क्षुरोंद्वारा कवचके साथ कटकर भूमिपर गिर गयी। इस प्रकार किरीटधारी अर्जुनने शत्रुपक्षके सभी मुख्य-मुख्य योद्धाओंका संहार कर डाला ।। शरै: शरीरान्तकरै: सुघोरै- दौर्योधनं सैन्यमशेषमेव । वैकर्तनेनापि तथा55जिमध्ये सहस््रशो बाणगणा विसृष्टा:,उन्होंने शरीरका अन्त कर देनेवाले घोर बाणोंद्वारा दुर्योधनकी सारी सेनाका विध्वंस कर दिया। इसी प्रकार वैकर्तन कर्णने भी समरांगणमें सहस्रों बाणसमूहोंकी वर्षा की

三阇耶曰：以刃如剃刀之箭，一名战士的左臂连同护甲被削断，坠落于地。如此，戴冠的阿周那诛灭了敌方诸多首要勇将。凭借极其可怖、足以断绝性命的箭矢，他将都律约陀那的全军摧毁殆尽，不留余孽；而同样地，战场中央，瓦伊迦尔多那·迦尔那也以千束万束之箭如雨倾泻。

The verse underscores how, once dharma has collapsed into total war, even the greatest heroes—Arjuna and Karṇa—advance the conflict through unmatched martial prowess. It highlights the ethical tragedy of escalation: skill and duty operate within a battlefield where restraint is scarce and the cost is widespread destruction.
Sañjaya reports a vivid moment of carnage: a warrior’s left arm is cut off with armor and falls to the ground; Arjuna then slays leading enemy champions and devastates Duryodhana’s forces with deadly arrows. In parallel, Karṇa also showers the battlefield with thousands of arrows, matching the intensity of the fight.
