Śalya–Bhīma Gadā-saṃnipāta and Śalya’s Bāṇa-jāla against Yudhiṣṭhira
Book 9, Chapter 11
अजातशत्रुं कौन्तेयम भ्यधावद् युधिष्ठिरम् । महाबली मद्रराज मेघोंकी गर्जनाके समान सिंहनाद कर रहे थे। उनके द्वारा मारी जाती हुई पाण्डव-सेना भागकर अजातशत्रु कुन्तीकुमार युधिष्ठिरके पास चली गयी ।।
sañjaya uvāca | ajātaśatruṃ kaunteyam abhyadhāvad yudhiṣṭhiram | mahābalī madrarājaḥ meghānāṃ garjanā-samo siṃhanādaṃ karoti sma | tena tāḍyamānā pāṇḍava-senā bhagnā ajātaśatruṃ kuntīkumāraṃ yudhiṣṭhiraṃ prati jagāma || tāṃ sammṛdya tataḥ saṅkhye laghu-hastaḥ śitaiḥ śaraiḥ |
三阇耶说道：马德罗的强王舍利耶冲向昆蒂之子、号称“无生怨者”(Ajātaśatru)的坚战（尤提士提罗）。他如狮子般咆哮，又似云雷轰鸣，使战场充满恐惧。潘度军被他杀伤，阵势崩散，奔向“无生怨者”坚战。随后他在战斗中碾压其众，那位手法迅捷的勇士以锐利之箭贯穿他们。

Educational Q&A
Even a ruler famed as Ajātaśatru—one who bears no enmity—must face the harsh necessities of kṣatriya-dharma in war: protecting the host, steadying morale, and meeting force with disciplined resolve rather than hatred.
Śalya, the powerful king of Madra, charges toward Yudhiṣṭhira with a thunder-like lion-roar. His assault breaks the Pāṇḍava ranks, and the fleeing troops stream back toward Yudhiṣṭhira; Śalya then continues to overwhelm them with swift, sharp arrow-fire.
