शल्यपरिघातः (Śalya Under Encirclement) — Mahābhārata, Śalya-parva, Adhyāya 12
एकैकं पज्चभिर्विद्ध्वा युधिष्ठिरमपीडयत् । सात्यकि, भीमसेन और माद्रीकुमार पाण्डुपुत्र नकुल-सहदेव--इनमेंसे प्रत्येकको पाँच- पाँच बाणोंसे घायल करके वे युधिष्ठिरको पीड़ा देने लगे || ६० $ ।।
ekaikaṃ pañcabhir viddhvā yudhiṣṭhiram apīḍayat | tato bāṇamayaṃ jālaṃ vitataṃ pāṇḍavorasi ||
三阇耶说道：他以五箭各各贯穿众人，遂开始折磨由提施提罗。继而，一张如网般铺展的箭幕覆落在那位般度子弟的胸前——此举不仅为战场伤身，更欲借同伴之痛摧折王者之志。

Educational Q&A
The passage highlights how warfare targets not only the body but also morale: by injuring companions and then pressing Yudhiṣṭhira, the attacker seeks to destabilize righteous leadership. It implicitly tests the king’s steadiness in dharma amid pain and provocation.
Sañjaya reports that the warrior strikes each of Yudhiṣṭhira’s allies with five arrows and then intensifies the assault on Yudhiṣṭhira, spreading a dense ‘net’ of arrows across the Pandava’s chest, increasing his suffering and pressure in the battle.
