अविध्यद् एनं दशभिः पृषत्कैर्; अलम्बुसो राजवरः प्रसह्य ॥

Alambusa, best of kings, with force pierced him with ten arrows; but the bull of Shini [Satyaki] cut those arrows with his own before they arrived. Again, with three fire-like arrows, drawn to the ear, sharp, well-feathered, he pierced [Alambusa], tearing his armor; and [Alambusa's arrows] entered Satyaki's body in turn. Tearing [the enemy] with those arrows possessed of the power of fire and wind, and with other blazing arrows, he struck with force those four silver-gleaming horses with four arrows.

Satyaki cuts down the enemy's arrows still in flight, not letting them arrive — skill anticipates the blow. It is telling that both wound each other: a duel of equals is never one-sided. The verse teaches that in a clash of the worthy, victory belongs not to impunity but to anticipation and precision; and one who cuts down an enemy's arrow in flight, then strikes down his horses, shows a mastery that raw fury alone cannot withstand.
