पुनश्च कर्ण त्रिभिरष्टभिश्न द्वाभ्यां चतुर्भिर्देशभिश्व विद्ध्वा
punaś ca karṇa tribhir aṣṭabhiś ca dvābhyāṃ caturbhir deśabhiś ca viddhvā
三阇耶说道:又一次,噢迦尔纳——他在三处、八处、两处、四处,以及诸多要害之点接连命中,仍不断反复加创。此叙述凸显战场上无休无止、井然有序的暴烈:武艺不用于克制,而用于持续的伤害。
संजय उवाच
The verse is primarily descriptive rather than doctrinal: it highlights how, in war, technical prowess can manifest as repeated, targeted wounding. Ethically, it invites reflection on the grim momentum of battle—where duty and skill operate within a context of escalating harm.
Sañjaya reports that Karṇa (or an opponent in the scene being narrated) is being struck again and again—counted as multiple hits (three, eight, two, four) and in various bodily points—emphasizing the intensity and continuity of the exchange on the battlefield.
