Śalya-parva Adhyāya 26 — Duryodhana’s remnant formation and rapid engagements
तौ शिलीमुखविद्धाजडौ पेततू रथसत्तमौ | ततः पतन्न्तं समरे अभिवीक्ष्य सुतं तव
tau śilīmukhaviddhājaḍau petatu rathasattamau | tataḥ patantaṃ samare abhivīkṣya sutaṃ tava bhīmaseno bhallena jaghāna durviṣaham ||
三阇耶说道:那两位最卓越的勇士,周身被锐箭贯穿而麻木,从战车上坠落。随后,毗摩塞那见你的儿子杜尔维沙哈冲入战阵,便以一支阔刃婆罗箭(bhalla)将其射杀;在众弓手注视之下,杜尔维沙哈从战车跌落于地。
संजय उवाच
The verse underscores the inexorable consequences of war and the kṣatriya code: valor and aggression lead to immediate, visible outcomes on the battlefield. It also highlights the moral weight of choices—those who press forward into violence must face the same violence in return.
Sañjaya reports that two great chariot-warriors fall after being pierced by arrows. Immediately after, Durviṣaha advances; Bhīma strikes him with a bhalla (broad-headed arrow), and Durviṣaha falls from his chariot in full view of the assembled archers.
