हुतभुग्जन्मनो नैव यादृग्भीमाद्भयं मम ॥ ७.१२९.८ ॥

चक्रे युधिष्ठिरः सङ्ख्ये हर्षनादैश्च सङ्कुलाम्
गाण्डीवं व्याक्षिपत्पार्थः कृष्णोऽप्यब्जमवादयत् ॥ ७.१२९.३७ ॥
Then King Yudhiṣṭhira, joyful amid the sound of conch-shells and arrows, filled his army in battle with cries of delight. Pārtha drew back and shook the bow Gāṇḍīva, and Kṛṣṇa too sounded his conch.

आसुरे तु महासैन्ये तारकं पावकिर्यथा ॥ ७.१२९.४० ॥

ध्वजं चास्य पताकां च भल्लैः सन्नतपर्वभिः।
रथं च चक्ररक्षौ च भीमश्चिच्छेद मारिष ॥ ७.१२९.४२ ॥

Seeing Karṇa afflicted by many arrows of the son of Pṛthā, O great king, Duryodhana spoke to Duḥśāsana: "See Karṇa in distress; quickly give him a chariot."

दुश्शलस्य रथं कर्णश्चारुरोह महारथः ॥ ७.१२९.४६ ॥
Thus addressed by the king, Duḥśāsana rushed forward, and the great charioteer Karṇa mounted Duḥśāsana's chariot.
7.129.47
तौ पार्थः सहसा गत्वा विव्याध दशभिः शरैः ।
पुनश्च कर्णं विद्ध्वाऽपि दुश्शलस्य शिरोऽहरत् ॥ ७.१२९.४७ ॥
The son of Pṛthā suddenly advanced and pierced both of them with ten arrows; again piercing Karṇa, he cut off Duḥśāsana's head.
7.129.48
दुश्शलं निहतं दृष्ट्वा भीमसेनेन मारिष ।
तस्यैव धनुरादाय कर्णो विव्याध पाण्डवम् ॥ ७.१२९.४८ ॥
Seeing Duḥśāsana slain by Bhīmasena, O noble one, Karṇa took up that very bow and pierced the Pāṇḍava.
7.129.49
अन्योन्यं समरे वीरौ युयुधाते महाबलौ ।
शत्रुघ्नौ शत्रुमध्ये तु बलवज्रभृताविव ॥ ७.१२९.४९ ॥
In battle the two heroes, of great might and enemy-slayers, fought one another in the midst of the foe, like two wielders of the thunderbolt.
7.129.50
भीमो विद्धा हयांश्चैव सारथिं च पुनः पुनः ।
कर्णमभ्यद्रवत्पार्थः प्रहसंश्च महाबलः ॥ ७.१२९.५० ॥
Bhīma, having pierced the horses and the charioteer again and again, rushed at Karṇa, the son of Pṛthā, laughing, the mighty one.

ततो व्यायच्छमानस्य भीमसेनस्य संयुगे ।
तत्सैन्यं कलिलीभूतं न प्राज्ञायत किञ्चन ॥ ७.१२९.५१ ॥
Then, as Bhīmasena strained in battle, that army was thrown into confusion, and nothing could be made out.
