Adhyāya 14: Śalya’s Missile-Pressure and the Pāṇḍava Convergence (शल्यस्य शरवर्षम्)
ततो<परैस्त्रिभिर्भल्लैद्रौणिं विव्याध पाण्डव: । सो5तिविद्धो बलवता पार्थेन सुमहात्मना
tato 'parais tribhir bhallair drauṇiṁ vivyādha pāṇḍavaḥ | so 'tividdho balavatā pārthena sumahātmanā ||
桑阇耶说道：于是，那位般度族的勇士又以三支锋利的箭矢射中德罗那之子（阿湿婆陀曼）。被强大的帕尔塔深深贯穿，那位大心之弓手仍在严酷的战场律令中继续推进战斗——在此处，勇力与决断裁定瞬息生死，而达摩依旧是衡量武士行止的更高准绳。

The verse highlights the warrior ethic: skill and strength are exercised decisively in battle, yet the description of Arjuna as “great-souled” implies that true martial excellence is ideally joined with nobility of intent and disciplined conduct.
Sañjaya reports that Arjuna (Pārtha), a Pāṇḍava, shoots Aśvatthāman (Drauṇi), son of Droṇa, with three additional bhalla-arrows, wounding him severely in the ongoing combat.
