Śālva–Pradyumna Yuddha: Sārathya-kauśala, Astra-pratikāra, Daiva-niyati
Chapter 20
ततो5हमपि कौन्तेय शराणामयुतान् बहून् आमन्त्रितानां धनुषा दिव्येन विधिनाक्षिपम्,कुन्तीनन्दन! तब मैंने भी अपने धनुषद्वारा दिव्य विधिसे अभिमन्त्रित किये हुए कई हजार बाण बरसाये
tato 'ham api kaunteya śarāṇām ayutān bahūn āmantritānāṃ dhanuṣā divyena vidhinā 'kṣipam
随后我也,昆蒂之子啊,从我的神弓依神圣仪轨放出数以万计的箭矢——皆以圣咒加持——以有节制、合乎正法之力回击其攻势。
वासुदेव उवाच
Power is to be exercised through restraint and proper method (vidhi): even in conflict, action should be disciplined, sanctioned, and purposeful—guided by dharma rather than impulse.
Vāsudeva addresses Arjuna and describes how he responded by releasing a vast volley of mantra-consecrated arrows from his divine bow, indicating a formidable yet controlled counteraction.
