स तेन सङ्गृहीताश्वः पुनरभ्यद्रवद्रिपून् ॥ ७.१५६.२० ॥
Then Duryodhana quickly appointed another charioteer for him; gathering his horses with that man, he rushed again upon the enemies.
7.156.21
कलिङ्गानामनीकेन कालिङ्गस्य सुतो रणे ।
पूर्वं पितृवधात्क्रुद्धौ भीमसेनमुपाद्रवत् ॥ ७.१५६.२१ ॥
With the army of the Kalingas, the son of the Kāliṅga king, enraged beforehand because of his father's slaying, attacked Bhīmasena in battle.

विशोकं त्रिभिरानर्च्छद्वजमेकेन पत्रिणा ॥ ७.१५६.२२ ॥
He pierced Bhīma with five arrows, then pierced him again with seven; he struck Viśoka with three, and with one feathered arrow he cut down the banner.
7.156.23
कलिङ्गानां तु तं शूरं क्रुद्धं क्रुद्धो वृकोदरः ।
रथाद्रथमभिद्रुत्य मुष्टिनाऽभिजघान ह ॥ ७.१५६.२३ ॥
But upon that furious hero of the Kalingas, the furious Vṛkodara leapt from one chariot to another and struck him with his fist.
7.156.24
तस्य मुष्टिहतस्याजौ पाण्डवेन बलीयसा ।
सर्वाण्यस्थीनि सहसा प्रापतन्वै पृथक्पृथक् ॥ ७.१५६.२४ ॥
Struck by the fist of the mighty Pāṇḍava in battle, all his bones suddenly broke apart and fell, one by one.
7.156.25
तस्मिन्हते तदा तेन सिंहनादो महानभूत् ।
पाञ्चालानां महाराज साधुसाध्विति पाण्डवम् ॥ ७.१५६.२५ ॥
When he was slain, a great lion's roar arose from him. O great king, the Pāñcālas cried 'well done, well done!' to the Pāṇḍava.
7.156.26
तं कर्णो भ्रातरश्चास्य नामृष्यन्त परन्तप ।
ते भीमसेनं नाराचैर्जघ्नुराशीविषोपमैः ॥ ७.१५६.२६ ॥
Karṇa and his brothers could not tolerate it. O scorcher of foes, they struck Bhīmasena with iron arrows like venomous snakes.
7.156.27
ततः शत्रुरथं त्यक्त्वा भीमो द्रुमरथं गतः ।
द्रुमं चास्यन्तमनिशं मुष्टिना समपोथयत् ॥ ७.१५६.२७ ॥
Then Bhīma, abandoning the enemy's chariot, went to a chariot of trees, and crushed the tip of that tree completely, again and again, with his fist.
7.156.28
यथा काचमणिर्न्यस्तो मुष्टिनैकेन लीलया ।
स हतः सर्वथा चूर्णो रक्तमेवोदपद्यत ॥ ७.१५६.२८ ॥
As a glass bead is pressed lightly in a single fist, so was it struck and utterly crushed to powder, and from it there arose only blood.
7.156.29
तथा चूर्णमभूत्तत्र कर्णभ्राता द्रुमस्तथा ।
स तदा पाण्डुपुत्रेण बलिनाऽभिहतोऽपतत् ॥ ७.१५६.२९ ॥
Likewise there that tree, Karṇa's brother, was reduced to powder; then, struck by the mighty son of Pāṇḍu, it fell.

जयरातरथं प्राप्य मुहुः सिंह इवानदत् ॥ ७.१५६.३० ॥
Having slain him, O great king, the very strong Bhīmasena reached the chariot of Jayadratha and roared again and again like a lion.

सूतं चास्य महाबाहुर्गृह्य राजंस्तथैव च ॥ ७.१५६.३१ ॥
Mighty Bhīma seized Jayadratha by the foot, and, O king, the long-armed one likewise seized his charioteer.
7.156.32
पादयोर्गृह्य तौ वीरौ भीमः कर्णस्य पश्यतः ।
भूमावाविद्ध्य जघ्ने स तौ च प्राणैर्व्ययुज्यताम् ॥ ७.१५६.३२ ॥
While Karṇa looked on, Bhīma seized those two heroes by the feet, dashed them to the ground and struck them down; their lives departed.
7.156.33
कर्णस्तु पाण्डवे शक्तिं काञ्चनीं समवासृजत् ।
ततस्तामेव जग्राह प्रहसन्पाण्डुनन्दनः ॥ ७.१५६.३३ ॥
Karṇa hurled a golden spear at the Pāṇḍava; then the son of Pāṇḍu, laughing, seized that very spear.
7.156.34
कर्णायैव च दुर्धर्षश्चिक्षेपाजौ वृकोदरः ।
तामापतन्तीं चिच्छेद शकुनिस्तैलपायिना ॥ ७.१५६.३४ ॥
And the unassailable Vṛkodara hurled it in battle at Karṇa; as it came rushing, Śakuni, the oil-drinker, cut it down.
7.156.35
एतत्कृत्वा महत्कर्म रणेऽद्भुतपराक्रमः ।
पुनः स्वरथमास्थाय दुद्राव तव वाहिनीम् ॥ ७.१५६.३५ ॥
Having performed this great feat in battle, he of wondrous valour mounted his own chariot again and rushed toward your army.
7.156.36
तमायान्तं जिघांसन्तं भीमं क्रुद्धमिवान्तकम् ।
न्यवारयन्महाबाहुं तव पुत्रा विशाम्पते।
महता शरवर्षेण च्छादयन्तो महारथाः ॥ ७.१५६.३६ ॥
O lord of the people, your sons held back the long-armed Bhīma as he came on, wishing to kill, like Death enraged; the great charioteers covered him with a great shower of arrows and checked him.
7.156.37
दुर्मदस्य ततो भीमः प्रहसन्निव संयुगे ।
सारथिं च हयांश्चैव शरैर्निन्ये यमक्षयम् ॥ ७.१५६.३७ ॥
Then Bhīma, as if laughing in battle, sent Durmada's charioteer and horses with arrows to the abode of Yama.
7.156.38
दुर्मदस्तु ततो यानं दुष्कर्णस्यावचक्रमे ।
तावेकरथमारूढौ भ्रातरौ परतापनौ। ॥ ७.१५६.३८ ॥
Then Durmada moved his chariot toward Duṣkarṇa's; the two brothers, tormentors of foes, mounted one chariot together.
7.156.39
सङ्ग्रामशिरसो मध्ये भीमं द्वावप्यधावताम् ।
यथाम्बुपतिमित्रौ हि तारकं दैत्यसत्तमम् ॥ ७.१५६.३९ ॥
In the midst of the battle's front both of them rushed at Bhīma, as the two friends of the lord of waters rushed at Tāraka, best of the Daityas.
7.156.40
ततस्तु दुर्मदश्चैव दुष्कर्णश्च तवात्मजौ ।
रथमेकं समारुह्य भीमं बाणैरविध्यताम् ॥ ७.१५६.४० ॥
Then your two sons, Durmada and Duṣkarṇa, mounting one chariot together, pierced Bhīma with arrows.
7.156.41
ततः कर्णस्य मिषतो द्रौणेर्दुर्योधनस्य च ।
कृपस्य सोमदत्तस्य बाह्लीकस्य च पाण्डवः ॥ ७.१५६.४१ ॥
Then, while Karṇa, Droṇa's son, Duryodhana, Kṛpa, Somadatta and Bāhlīka looked on, the Pāṇḍava (Bhīma)...
7.156.42
दुर्मदस्य च वीरस्य दुष्कर्णस्य च तं रथम् ।
पादप्रहारेण धरां प्रावेशयदरिन्दमः ॥ ७.१५६.४२ ॥
That hero, the subduer of foes, with a kick of his foot drove the chariot of Durmada and Duṣkarṇa down into the earth.
7.156.43
ततः सुतौ ते बलिनौ शूरौ दुष्कर्णदुर्मदौ ।
मुष्टिनाऽऽहत्य सङ्क्रुद्धौ ममर्द चरणेन ह ॥ ७.१५६.४३ ॥
Then your two mighty and heroic sons, Duṣkarṇa and Durmada, enraged, struck him with their fists and trampled him with their feet.
7.156.44
ततो हाहाकृते सैन्ये दृष्ट्वा भीमं नृपाऽब्रुवन् ।
रुद्रोऽयं भीमरूपेण धार्तराष्ट्रेषु युध्यति ॥ ७.१५६.४४ ॥
Then, as the army cried out in lamentation, the kings seeing Bhīma said: "This is Rudra in a terrible form, fighting against the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra."
7.156.45
एवमुक्त्वा पलायन्ते सर्वे भारत पार्थिवाः ।
विसंज्ञा वाहयन्वाहान्न च द्वौ सह धावतः ॥ ७.१५६.४५ ॥
O Bhārata, having spoken thus, all the kings fled; bewildered, driving their horses, they could not even run side by side, two together.
7.156.46
ततो बले भृशलुलिते निशामुखे ।
सुपूजितो नृपवृषभैर्वृकोदरः।
महाबलः कमलविबुद्धलोचनो ।
युधिष्ठिरं नृपतिमपूजयद्बली ॥ ७.१५६.४६ ॥
Then, when the army was greatly thrown into disorder at the onset of night, Vṛkodara, the mighty one, well honored by the bull-like kings, with lotus-wide open eyes, honored King Yudhiṣṭhira.
7.156.47
ततो यमौ द्रुपदविराटकेकया ।
युधिष्ठिरश्चापि परां मुदं ययुः।
वृकोदरं भृशमनुपूजयंश्च ते ।
यथान्धके प्रतिनिहते हरं सुराः ॥ ७.१५६.४७ ॥
Then the twins, Drupada, Virāṭa, the Kekaya king and Yudhiṣṭhira also attained supreme joy, and they greatly honored Vṛkodara in turn, as the gods honored Hara when Andhaka was slain.
7.156.48
ततः सुतास्ते वरुणात्मजोपमा ।
रुपान्विताः सह गुरुणा महात्मना।
वृकोदरं सरथपदातिकुञ्जरा ।
युयुत्सवो भृशमभिपर्यवारयन् ॥ ७.१५६.४८ ॥
Then your sons, like the sons of Varuṇa in beauty, together with the great-souled teacher, with chariots, foot-soldiers and elephants, eager for battle, fiercely surrounded Vṛkodara on every side and held him back.
7.156.49
ततो यमौ द्रुपदसुताः ससैनिका ।
युधिष्ठिरद्रुपदविराटसात्वताः।
घटोत्कचो जयविजयौ द्रुमो वृकः ।
ससृञ्जयास्तव तनयानवारयन् ॥ ७.१५६.४९ ॥
Then the twins, the sons of Drupada with their troops, together with Yudhiṣṭhira, Drupada, Virāṭa and the Sātvata, Ghaṭotkaca, Jaya and Vijaya, Druma and Vṛka, and the Sṛñjayas, began to hold back your sons.
7.156.50
ततोऽभवत्तिमिरघनैरिवावृते ।
महाभये भयदमतीव दारुणम्।
निशामुखे वृकबलगृध्रमोदनं ।
महात्मना नृपवर युद्धमद्भुतम् ॥ ७.१५६.५० ॥
Then, at the onset of night, as if covered by dense clouds of darkness, in a great and terrifying dread, most dreadful and frightful, a marvelous battle took place, O best of kings, delighting the wolves, the troops and the vultures.
