विराटसभायां पाण्डवानां प्रवेशः — Arjuna’s Encomium of Yudhiṣṭhira in Virāṭa’s Court
निहत्य नागं तु शरेण तेन वज्रोपमेनाद्रिवराम्बुदा भम् । तथाविधेनैव शरेण पार्थो दुर्योधनं वक्षसि निर्बिभेद,उस वज्रसदृश बाणद्धारा पर्वत तथा मेघोंकी घटाके समान प्रतीत होनेवाले गजराजको मारकर पार्थने वैसे ही दूसरे बाणसे दुर्योधनकी छाती छेद डाली
nihatya nāgaṃ tu śareṇa tena vajropamenādrivarāmbudābham | tathāvidhenaiva śareṇa pārtho duryodhanaṃ vakṣasi nirbibheda ||
毗湿摩波耶那说道:以那一箭——坚若金刚,势如山岳,又似密集雨云——射杀巨象之后,帕尔塔(阿周那)复以同样的一箭,贯穿了杜尤陀那的胸膛。此景显出战斗的无情推进:武艺与决意驱动着杀伐向前,而暴力及其后果的伦理张力,则潜伏在英雄叙述之下。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
The verse highlights the force and inevitability of martial action once battle is joined: skill and resolve can be decisive, yet the narration also invites reflection on the ethical weight of violence and the chain of consequences it sets in motion.
After killing a powerful elephant with a thunderbolt-like arrow, Arjuna (Pārtha) immediately follows with a similar arrow and strikes Duryodhana, piercing him in the chest, as described by the narrator Vaiśampāyana.
