अद्यैतत्प्रतियोत्स्यामि पश्यत्सु कुरुपाण्डुपु ॥ ७.२००.५७ ॥
If there is no one who can counter the Nārāyaṇa weapon, then today, while the Kurus and Pāṇḍavas watch, I myself shall counter it.

शशाङ्कस्येव ते पङ्को नैर्मल्यं पातयिष्यति ॥ ७.२००.५८ ॥
Arjuna, Arjuna, Bībhatsu! Do not lay down the Gāṇḍīva bow; as the moon's stain would bring down its brightness, so would this bring down your purity.

समन्तात्कोष्ठकीकृत्य शरव्रातैरवाकिरन् ॥ ७.२००.६२ ॥
Hearing his sound of the conch and the sound of his arms, your men formed a ring on all sides and covered him with volleys of arrows.

खद्योतैरावृतस्येव पर्वतस्य दिनक्षये ॥ ७.२००.६६ ॥
O king, in battle the form of Bhīmasena became like a mountain covered with fireflies at the close of day.

तदस्त्रं द्रोणपुत्रस्य तस्मिन्प्रतिसमस्यति ।
अवर्धत महाराज यथाऽग्निरनिलोद्धतः ॥ ७.२००.६७ ॥
O great king, the weapon of Droṇa's son, striking back against him, grew, like fire stirred up by the wind.

विवर्धमानमालक्ष्य तदस्त्रं भीमविक्रमम् ।
पाण्डुसैन्यमृते भीमं सुमहद्भयमाविशत् ॥ ७.२००.६८ ॥
Seeing that weapon, with Bhīma's prowess, growing, the Pāṇḍava army, except Bhīma, was seized with great fear.

अवारोहन्रथेभ्यश्च हस्त्यश्वेभ्यश्च सर्वशः ॥ ७.२००.६९ ॥
Then they all, casting their weapons to the ground, dismounted from chariots, elephants and horses alike.

तेषु निक्षिप्तशस्त्रेषु वाहनेभ्यश्च्युतेषु च ।
तदस्त्रवीर्यं विपुलं भीममूर्धन्यथापतत् ॥ ७.२००.७० ॥
When they had laid down their weapons and fallen from their mounts, that vast power of the weapon fell upon Bhīma's head.

हाहाकृतानि भूतानि पाण्डवाश्च विशेषतः ।
भीमसेनमपश्यन्त तेजसा संवृतं तथा ॥ ७.२००.७१ ॥
All beings cried out 'alas!', and especially the Pāṇḍavas saw Bhīmasena enveloped thus in that blaze of power.
