Śalya–Yudhiṣṭhira Duel and the Discharge of the Śakti (शल्यवधप्रसङ्गः)
इसी प्रकार महामना कुरुराज युधिष्ठिरने भी सुन्दर धनुष हाथमें लेकर द्रोणाचार्यके दिये हुए नाना प्रकारके उपदेशोंका प्रदर्शन करते हुए शीघ्रतापूर्वक सुन्दर एवं विचित्र रीतिसे बाणोंकी वर्षा प्रारम्भ कर दी ।।
iti prakāraṁ mahāmanā kururāja yudhiṣṭhiro 'pi sundaraṁ dhanuḥ haste gṛhītvā droṇācāryasya datta-nānā-vidhopadeśānāṁ pradarśanaṁ kurvan śīghratayā sundara-vicitra-rītyā bāṇānāṁ varṣaṁ prārabhata || na cāsya vivaraṁ kaścid dadarśa carato raṇe | tāv ubhau vividhair bāṇais tatakṣāte parasparam ||
同样地，心志高远的俱卢王由提施提罗也执起华美之弓，施展德罗纳阿阇梨昔日所授的种种教诲。他迅疾出手，以既华丽又惊人的手法掀起箭雨。其在战场上往来驰骋，竟无人能窥见他一丝破绽；二人遂以各类箭矢反复相击，彼此交伤不止。

Educational Q&A
Even a ruler known for restraint and dharma must, when duty demands, act with disciplined competence. The verse highlights the ethical dimension of kṣatriya-dharma: skill and training are to be employed decisively in battle, without negligence or exposing avoidable weakness.
Sañjaya describes Yudhiṣṭhira taking up his bow and demonstrating the varied martial instructions he learned from Droṇa. He moves skillfully so that no opening is visible, and he and his opponent exchange intense volleys of diverse arrows, striking each other repeatedly.
