Virāṭa’s Conciliation and Uttara’s Account of the Unseen Champion
Bṛhannadā/Arjuna
ततस्तानि निकृत्तानि शरजालानि भागश: । समरे च व्यशीर्यन्त फाल्गुनस्य रथं प्रति,तदनन्तर रणभूमिमें कटकर टुकड़े-टुकड़े हुए वे बाणसमूह अर्जुनके रथपर बिखरने लगे
tatastāni nikṛttāni śarajālāni bhāgaśaḥ | samare ca vyaśīryanta phālgunasya rathaṃ prati ||
毗湿摩波罗衍那说：于是，那些被斩断的箭网纷纷碎裂成段；在战场上，它们化作残片，四散飞向法尔古那（阿周那）的战车。此景昭示：战阵之中，力量可由技艺所节制——致命之器亦能因沉着的掌控而失其害，而非凭鲁莽的怒火横行。
