Shloka 29
भीमसेनस्य कौरवसुतवधः तथा श्रुतर्वावधः
Slaying of Kaurava princes and the fall of Śrutarvā
तत्रैकबाणनिहतानपश्याम महागजान् । पतितान् पात्यमानांश्व निर्भिनज्नान् सव्यसाचिना,वहाँ हमने देखा कि सव्यसाची अर्जुके एक ही बाणकी चोट खाकर बड़े-बड़े हाथियोंके शरीर विदीर्ण होकर गिर गये हैं और लगातार गिराये जा रहे हैं
tatraika-bāṇa-nihatān apaśyāma mahā-gajān | patitān pātyamānāṁś ca nirbhinna-jñān savyasācinā ||
三阇耶说道：“在那里，我们看见巨象竟被一箭射倒——有的已然仆地，有的仍在不断被击落——它们的身躯被萨维亚萨钦（阿周那）撕裂贯穿。”此偈凸显战场武艺之可怖效率：权势与生命顷刻瓦解，也提醒听者战争的沉重道德分量，即便是以职责之名而战亦然。

The verse highlights the awe-inspiring power of a warrior’s skill and the stark reality of war: even the mightiest beings can be destroyed instantly. Implicitly, it invites reflection on the ethical gravity of battlefield action, even when undertaken as kṣatriya-dharma.
Sañjaya reports what was witnessed on the battlefield: Arjuna (called Savyasācin) is felling huge elephants with single arrows; some lie already dead while others are still being brought down, their bodies visibly torn by the strikes.
