शकुनिवधः — Sahadeva’s Slaying of Śakuni
with Ulūka’s fall
असौ दुर्योधन: पार्थ वाजिमध्ये व्यवस्थित: । छत्रेण प्रियमाणेन प्रेक्षमाणो मुहुर्मुहु:,'पार्थ! वह रहा दुर्योधन, जो छत्र धारण किये घुड़सवारोंके बीचमें खड़ा है और बारंबार इधर ही देख रहा है
asau duryodhanaḥ pārtha vājimadhye vyavasthitaḥ | chatreṇa priyamāṇena prekṣamāṇo muhur muhuḥ ||
桑阇耶说道：“噢，帕尔塔！杜尔约陀那立于骑兵之中，有华盖为他遮荫以示尊荣，他一再朝这边投来目光。”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the contrast between external royal splendor (the parasol, attendants, cavalry formation) and the inner unease of a leader who keeps looking repeatedly—suggesting pride and status cannot remove the moral and strategic pressure of a dharma-charged war.
Sañjaya reports to the listener that Duryodhana is positioned among the horsemen, honored by a parasol, and keeps glancing repeatedly in a particular direction—indicating watchfulness, expectation, or apprehension amid the ongoing battle situation.
