毗湿摩波耶那说:随后,阿周那——胜者之冠——以自己锋利的箭矢挡住并尽数摧毁了大导师德罗那所放出的箭,那些箭皆经石上磨砺而锐利无比。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Excellence in righteous combat is marked by disciplined precision and restraint: Arjuna’s skill is shown in neutralizing incoming harm efficiently, reflecting kṣatriya-dharma as protection rather than uncontrolled aggression.
Droṇa, the foremost teacher, releases stone-sharpened arrows; Arjuna, famed as the best among victors, intercepts and destroys them with his own sharp arrows, demonstrating superior archery and control in the battle sequence.
