Shloka 303
जवेनाभ्यपतन् हृष्टा घ्नन्तो दौर्योधनं बलम् । दूसरी ओर पराक्रमी अर्जुनने रथसेनापर आक्रमण किया। माद्रीकुमार नकुल-सहदेव और महारथी सात्यकि हर्षमें भरकर दुर्योधनकी सेनाका संहार करते हुए बड़े वेगसे शकुनिपर टूट पड़े
javena abhyapatan hṛṣṭā ghnantaḥ dauryodhanaṃ balam | dvitīyāṃ diśi parākramī arjunaḥ ratha-senām upari ākrāmat | mādrī-kumārau nakula-sahadevau ca mahā-rathī sātyakiś ca harṣeṇa pūritāḥ duryodhanasya senāṃ saṃharantaḥ mahā-javena śakunim upari nipetuḥ |
三阇耶说道：他们欢欣鼓舞，以迅疾之势冲上前去，击溃都利约陀那的军势。另一翼，勇猛的阿周那向战车部队发动猛攻。摩德梨之子那俱罗与娑诃提婆，以及大车战士萨底耆——战意昂扬——屠戮都利约陀那的兵众，并以雷霆般的冲势直扑沙昆尼。

The verse highlights a battlefield ethic of targeting decisive nodes—leaders and instigators—rather than merely clashing with anonymous masses. It also reflects kṣatriya-dharma in its stark form: disciplined courage, coordinated assault, and the pursuit of strategic objectives amid the moral gravity of large-scale destruction.
Sañjaya reports that the Pāṇḍava side surges forward: Arjuna attacks the chariot formations, while Nakula, Sahadeva, and Sātyaki—exultant and forceful—cut through Duryodhana’s troops and then rush to engage Śakuni directly.
