एवम् उक्त्वार्जुनं राजा त्रिभिर् मर्मातिगैः शरैः ॥
प्रत्यविध्यन् महावेगैश् चतुर्भिश् चतुरो हयान् ॥
वासुदेवं च दशभिः प्रत्यविध्यत् स्तनान्तरे ॥
प्रतोदं चास्य भल्लेन छित्त्वा भूमाव् अपातयत् ॥
saṃjaya uvāca
evam uktvārjunaṃ rājā tribhir marmātigaiḥ śaraiḥ ||
pratyavidhyan mahāvegaiś caturbhiś caturo hayān ||
vāsudevaṃ ca daśabhiḥ pratyavidhyat stanāntare ||
pratodaṃ cāsya bhallena chittvā bhūmāv apātayat ||
Having thus spoken to Arjuna, the king [Duryodhana] pierced him in return with three swift arrows that strike the vital places, and the four horses with four; and he pierced Vasudeva with ten arrows between the nipples, and cutting his goad with a broad-headed shaft, cast it to the ground.

Duryodhana answers with deed, not word, and aims at Vasudeva the charioteer — "stanāntare", straight at the chest. It is significant that the first blow falls upon the One who holds the reins: the enemy senses that the chariot's strength lies in Krishna. The verse teaches that hostility strikes first at the support of the righteous; but the severed goad (pratoda) does not yet halt the chariot, for it is not the staff in hand but the will of the Lord that drives it.
