Arjuna’s Concentrated Archery and the Rout of the Kaurava Mahārathas
Gāṇḍīva-Nirghoṣa Episode
अथास्य कवचं बाणैनिशितैर्मर्म भेदिभि: । व्यधमन्न च पार्थो5स्य शरीरमवपीडयत्,उसके बाद पार्थने मर्मभेदी तीखे बाणोंद्वारा उनके कवचको भी छिलत्न-भिन्न कर दिया, किंतु उनके शरीरको तनिक भी कष्ट नहीं पहुँचाया
athāsya kavacaṁ bāṇair niśitair marma-bhedibhiḥ | vyadhaman na ca pārtho ’sya śarīram avapīḍayat ||
毗湿摩耶那说道:随后,帕尔塔以锋利、能穿透要害的箭矢射击其甲胄,将之撕裂劈碎;然而对那人的身体却未造成丝毫伤害。此景凸显战场上有纪律的力量——以威能解除对方之防护,而非无谓加害。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Even in warfare, strength should be governed by restraint: the warrior’s skill can be used to neutralize an opponent (destroying armour) without indulging in unnecessary bodily harm, reflecting disciplined kṣatriya conduct.
Arjuna (Pārtha) shoots sharp arrows that tear apart the opponent’s armour; however, despite the deadly capability of such arrows, he does not wound the opponent’s body, indicating controlled and precise combat.
