भीमसेनं समाकीर्णं दृष्ट्वाऽस्त्रेण धनञ्जयः ।
तेजसः प्रतिघातार्थं वारुणेन समावृणोत् ॥ ७.२०१.१ ॥
Seeing Bhīmasena surrounded on all sides, Dhanañjaya covered him with the Vāruṇa weapon to counteract his radiance.
7.201.2
नालक्षयत तत्कश्चिद्वारुणास्त्रेण संवृतम् ।
अर्जुनस्य लघुत्वाच्च संवृतत्वाच्च तेजसः ॥ ७.२०१.२ ॥
No one could perceive him covered by Arjuna's Vāruṇa weapon, because Arjuna's weapon was light and its radiance was concealed.
7.201.3
साश्वसूतरथो भीमो द्रोणपुत्रास्त्रसंवृतः ।
अग्नावग्निरिव न्यस्तो ज्वालामाली सुदुर्दृशः ॥ ७.२०१.३ ॥
Bhīma, with his horses, charioteer and chariot, covered by the weapon of Droṇa's son, was like a fire set within fire, garlanded with flames, very hard to behold.
7.201.4
यथा रात्रिक्षये राजञ्ज्योतीष्यस्तगिरिं प्रति ।
समापेतुस्तथा बाणा भीमसेनरथं प्रति ॥ ७.२०१.४ ॥
As, O king, at the end of night the lights gather toward the setting mountain, so the arrows converged upon Bhīmasena's chariot.
7.201.5
स हि भीमो रथश्चास्य हयाः सूतश्च मारिष ।
संवृता द्रोणपुत्रेण पावकान्तर्गताऽभवन् ॥ ७.२०१.५ ॥
O sir, Bhīma himself, his chariot, his horses and his charioteer, covered by Droṇa's son, became as if gone into the midst of fire.
7.201.6
यथा जग्ध्वा जगत्कृत्स्नं समये सचराचरम् ।
गच्छेद्वह्निर्विभोरास्यं तथाऽस्त्रं भीममावृणोत् ॥ ७.२०१.६ ॥
As fire, when the time comes, swallows the entire world with its moving and unmoving beings and goes to the mouth of the lord, so that weapon covered Bhīma.
7.201.7
सूर्यमग्निः प्रविष्टः स्याद्यथा चाग्निं दिवाकरः ।
तथा प्रविष्टं तत्तेजो न आज्ञायत पाण्डवः ॥ ७.२०१.७ ॥
As fire might enter the sun, or the sun enter fire, so the Pāṇḍava did not perceive that radiance which had entered.
7.201.8
तदस्त्रं भीमहुङ्कारादपयाति पुनःपुनः ।
पुनः पुनस्तमायाति हुंकारात्तं विमुञ्चति।
ततो देवाः सगन्धर्वा भीमं दृष्ट्वा सुविस्मिताः ॥ ७.२०१.८ ॥
At Bhīma's roar that weapon turns back again and again, and again it comes to him; at the roar he releases it. Then the gods with the gandharvas, seeing Bhīma, were greatly astonished.
7.201.9
विकीर्णमस्त्रं तद्दृष्ट्वा तथा भीमरथं प्रति ।
उदीर्यमाणं द्रौणिं च निष्प्रतिद्वन्द्वमाहवे ॥ ७.२०१.९ ॥
Seeing that weapon scattered toward Bhīma's chariot, and Droṇa's son, with no rival in battle, hurling it forth.
7.201.10
सर्वसैन्यं च पाण्डूनां न्यस्तशस्त्रमचेतनम् ।
युधिष्ठिरपुरोगांश्च विमुखांस्तान्महारथनान् ॥ ७.२०१.१० ॥
And the entire Pāṇḍava army, having laid down its weapons, became senseless; and those great charioteers who had gone before Yudhiṣṭhira were seen turned away.
7.201.11
अर्जुनो वासुदेवश्च त्वरमाणौ महाद्युती ।
अवप्लुत्य रथाद्वीरौ भीममाद्रवतां ततः ॥ ७.२०१.११ ॥
Then Arjuna and Vāsudeva, those two heroes of great radiance, hastening, leapt down from the chariot and ran toward Bhīma.
7.201.12
ततस्तद्द्रोणपुत्रस्य तेजोऽस्त्रबलसम्भवम् ।
विगाह्य तौ सुबलिनौ माययाऽविशतां तथा ॥ ७.२०१.१२ ॥
Then those two very mighty heroes, plunging into that radiance born of the weapon's power of Droṇa's son, entered it by illusion.
7.201.13
न्यस्तशस्त्रौ ततस्तौ तु नादहत्सोऽस्त्रजोऽनलः ।
वारुणास्त्रप्रयोगाच्च वीर्यवत्त्वाच्च कृष्णयोः ॥ ७.२०१.१३ ॥
Though they had laid down their weapons, that fire born of the weapon did not burn those two, because of the use of the Varuṇa weapon and because of the might of the two Kṛṣṇas.
7.201.14
ततश्चकृषतुर्भीमं सर्वशस्त्रायुधानि च ।
नारायणास्त्रशान्त्यर्थं नरनारायणौ बलात् ॥ ७.२०१.१४ ॥
Then Nara and Nārāyaṇa forcibly dragged Bhīma and all the weapons and arms, to pacify the Nārāyaṇa weapon.
7.201.15
आकृष्यमाणः कौन्तेयो नदत्येव महारवम् ।
वर्धते चैव तद्वोरं द्रौणेरस्त्रं सुदुर्जयम् ॥ ७.२०१.१५ ॥
Dragged along, the son of Kuntī roared a great roar, and that terrible weapon of Droṇa's son, very hard to overcome, kept growing.
7.201.16
तमब्रवीद्वासुदेवः किमिदं पाण्डुनन्दन ।
वार्यमाणोऽपि कौन्तेय यद्युद्वान्न निवर्तसे ॥ ७.२०१.१६ ॥
Vāsudeva said to him: 'O son of Pāṇḍu, what is this? O son of Kuntī, though restrained, why do you not turn back from the battle?'
7.201.17
यदि युद्वेन जेयाः स्युरिमे कौरवनन्दनाः ।
वयमप्यत्र युध्येम तथा चेमे नरर्षभाः ॥ ७.२०१.१७ ॥
If these sons of the Kurus were to be conquered by battle, then we too would fight here, and likewise these bulls among men.
7.201.18
रथेभ्यस्त्ववतीर्णाः स्म सर्व एव हि तावकाः ।
तस्मात्त्वमपि कौन्तेय रथात्तूर्णमपाक्रम ॥ ७.२०१.१८ ॥
But all your men have indeed already descended from their chariots; therefore you too, O son of Kuntī, quickly step down from your chariot.
7.201.19
एवमुक्त्वा तु तं कृष्णो रथाद्भूमिमवर्तयत् ।
निःश्वसन्तं यथा नागं क्रोधसंरक्तलोचनम् ॥ ७.२०१.१९ ॥
Having said this, Kṛṣṇa brought him down from the chariot to the ground, he who was sighing like an elephant, his eyes reddened with anger.
7.201.20
यदाऽपकृष्टः स रथान्न्यासितश्चायुधं भुवि ।
ततो नारायणास्त्रं तत्प्रशान्तं शत्रुतापनम् ॥ ७.२०१.२० ॥
When he was dragged down from the chariot and his weapon was placed on the ground, then that Nārāyaṇa weapon, the tormentor of enemies, was calmed.
7.201.21
तस्मिन्प्रशान्ते विधिना तेन तेजसि दुःसहे ।
बभूवुर्विमलाः सर्वा दिशः प्रदिश एव च ॥ ७.२०१.२१ ॥
When that unbearable splendor had been calmed by that rite, all the directions and intermediate directions became clear.
7.201.22
प्रववुश्च शिवा वाताः प्रशान्ता मृगपक्षिणः ।
वाहनानि च हृष्टानि प्रशान्तेऽस्त्रे सुदुर्जये ॥ ७.२०१.२२ ॥
Auspicious winds began to blow; the deer and birds grew calm; and when that invincible weapon was stilled, the mounts were gladdened.
7.201.23
व्यपोढे च ततो घोरे तस्मिंस्तेजसि भारत ।
बभौ भीमो निशापाये धीमान्सूर्य इवोदितः ॥ ७.२०१.२३ ॥
O Bhārata, then when that terrible splendor had withdrawn, Bhīma shone like the wise sun risen at the end of the night.
7.201.24
हतशेषं बलं तत्तु पाण्डवानामतिष्ठत ।
अस्त्रव्युपरमाद्वृष्टं तव पुत्रजिघांसया ॥ ७.२०१.२४ ॥
That remnant of the Pāṇḍavas' army stood firm, because the weapon, which had been rained down with the desire to slay your sons, had ceased.
7.201.25
व्यवस्थिते बले तस्मिन्नेस्त्रे प्रतिहते तथा ।
दुर्योधनो महाराज द्रोणपुत्रमथाब्रवीत् ॥ ७.२०१.२५ ॥
When the army was arrayed again and that weapon too was thus countered, O great king, Duryodhana said to Droṇa's son.
7.201.26
अश्वत्थामन्पुनः शीघ्रमस्त्रमेतत्प्रयोजय ।
अवस्थिता हि पाञ्चालाः पुनरेते जयैषिणः ॥ ७.२०१.२६ ॥
Aśvatthāman, quickly discharge this weapon again; the Pāñcālas, seeking victory, have taken their stand once more.
7.201.27
अश्वत्थामा तथोक्तस्तु तव पुत्रेण मारिष ।
सुदीनमभिनिः श्वस्य राजानमिदमब्रवीत् ॥ ७.२०१.२७ ॥
Thus addressed by your son, O sir, Aśvatthāman, very wretched, heaved a sigh and spoke these words to the king.
7.201.28
नैतदावर्तते राजन्नस्त्रं द्विर्नोपपद्यते ।
आवृतं हि निवर्तेत प्रयोक्तारं न संशयः ॥ ७.२०१.२८ ॥
This weapon does not return, O king, nor can it be discharged twice; yet if it is warded off, it turns back upon the one who discharged it — of this there is no doubt.
7.201.29
एष चास्त्रप्रतीघातं वासुदेवः प्रयुक्तवान् ।
अस्य तु ह्येष वै दाता मानुषेषु न विद्यते ॥ ७.२०१.२९ ॥
And this counter to the weapon was employed by Vāsudeva himself; no giver like him is to be found among men.
7.201.30
परावरज्ञो लोकानां न तदस्ति न वेत्ति यत् ।
तदेतदस्त्रं प्रशमं यातं कृष्णस्य मन्त्रितैः ॥ ७.२०१.३० ॥
He who knows the high and the low of the worlds — there is nothing he does not know. This weapon has been stilled by the counsels of Kṛṣṇa.
7.201.31
द्विविधो विहितः सङ्ख्ये वधः शस्त्रोर्जनाधिप ।
पराजयो वा मृत्युर्वा श्रेयान्मृत्युर्न निर्जयः ॥ ७.२०१.३१ ॥
O lord of men, two kinds of killing in battle are ordained by weapons: defeat or death. Death is better; victory is not.
7.201.32
विजिताश्चारयो ह्योते शस्त्रोत्सर्गान्मृतोपमाः ॥ ७.२०१.३२ ॥
These enemies, having laid down their weapons, are indeed conquered, like the dead.
7.201.33
आचार्यपुत्र यद्येतद्द्विरस्त्रं न प्रयुज्यते ।
अन्यैर्गुरुघ्ना वध्यन्तामस्त्रैरस्त्रविदां वर ॥ ७.२०१.३३ ॥
Son of the teacher, if this second weapon is not used, let the teacher-slayers be killed by others' weapons, O best of weapon-knowers.
7.201.34
त्वयि शस्त्राणि दिव्यानि त्र्यम्बके चामितौजसि ।
घ्नतैतान्सुमहावीर्य शात्रवान्युद्वकोविदः।
इच्छतो न हि ते मुच्येत्सङ्क्रुद्धो हि पुरन्दरः ॥ ७.२०१.३४ ॥
In you are divine weapons, and in Tryambaka of boundless might. O very mighty one, expert in war, strike down these enemies. Even if you wish, it would not be released from you, nor would the enraged Puraṃdara.
7.201.35
तस्मिन्नस्त्रे प्रतिहते द्रोणे चोपधिना हते ।
तथा दुर्योधनेनोक्तो द्रौणिः किमकरोत्पुनः ॥ ७.२०१.३५ ॥
When that weapon was thwarted and Droṇa was slain by stratagem, and Duryodhana had spoken thus, what did Droṇa's son do again?
7.201.36
दृष्ट्वा पार्थांश्च सङ्ग्रामे युद्धाय समुपस्थितान् ।
नारायणास्त्रनिर्मुक्तांश्चरतः पृतनामुखे ॥ ७.२०१.३६ ॥
Having seen the Pārthas (sons of Pṛthā) standing ready for battle in the fight, and moving at the front of the army, freed from the Nārāyaṇa weapon.

सक्रोधो भयमुत्सृज्य सोऽभिदुद्राव पार्षतम् ॥ ७.२०१.३७ ॥
Knowing of his father's death, he whose banner bore a lion's tail, enraged and casting off fear, rushed at the son of Pṛṣata.

पञ्चभिश्चातिवेगेन विव्याध पुरुषर्षभः ॥ ७.२०१.३८ ॥
Rushing upon twenty minor warriors, O best of men, that best of men pierced them with five arrows at great speed.

हयांश्च चतुरोऽविध्यच्चतुर्भिर्निशितैः शरैः ॥ ७.२०१.४० ॥
He pierced his charioteer with twenty gold-feathered arrows whetted on stone, and his four horses with four sharp arrows.

आददे सर्वलोकस्य प्राणानिव महारणे ॥ ७.२०१.४१ ॥
Piercing the son of Droṇa, piercing him again and again, he roared, shaking the earth as if seizing the life-breaths of all the worlds in the great battle.

द्रौणिमेवाभिदुद्राव मृत्युं कृत्वा निवर्तनम् ॥ ७.२०१.४२ ॥
Then the strong son of Pṛṣata, skilled in weapons and resolute, O king, rushed straight at the son of Droṇa, as if turning death itself back.

अवासृजदमेयात्मा पाञ्चाल्यो रथिनांवरः ॥ ७.२०१.४३ ॥
Then the Pāñcālya, of immeasurable spirit, best of charioteers, poured a shower of arrows upon the head of Droṇa's son.

सम्भ्रान्तरूपमार्तं च न परस्परमैक्षत ॥ ७.२०१.४७ ॥
Then, O lord of the people, the army of the Pāñcālas fled; confused and distressed, they did not even look at one another.

शैनेयोऽचोदयत्तूर्णं रथं द्रौणिरथं प्रति ॥ ७.२०१.४८ ॥
Seeing the warriors turned away and Dhṛṣṭadyumna afflicted, Śainēya (Sātyaki) swiftly urged his chariot toward the chariot of Droṇa's son.

अहत्वा सर्वपाञ्चालान्यदि शान्तिमहं लभे ॥ ७.२०१.६६ ॥

व्यसृजत्सात्वते द्रौणिर्वज्रं वृत्रे यथा हरिः ॥ ७.२०१.६८ ॥
Having said this, the son of Droṇa released that excellent arrow, bright as the rays of the sun and very sharp, at the Sātvata, just as Hari released the thunderbolt against Vṛtra.

विवेश वसुधां भित्त्वा श्वसन्बिलमिवोरगः ॥ ७.२०१.६९ ॥
That arrow, having pierced him and been shot by him, went through the shield, split the earth and entered it, like a serpent hissing into its hole.

अथान्येन सुपुङ्खेन शरेणानतपर्वणा ।
आजघान भ्रवोर्मध्ये धृष्टद्युम्नं परन्तपः ॥ ७.२०१.७२ ॥

Piercing the Mālava and the Paurava with two each, the charioteer of Bhīmasena with six, then the bow and the banner with two, and again Pārtha with a shower of arrows, the son of Droṇa uttered a fearsome lion's roar.

युवानमिन्दीवरदामवर्णं ।

भीमसेनो महाबाहुः क्रोधमाहारयत्परम् ॥ ७.२०१.८८ ॥
Seeing the Mālava, the Paurava, the crown prince and the lord of the Cedis slain before his very eyes by Droṇa's son, the mighty-armed Pāṇḍava Bhīmasena summoned supreme anger.

अवर्षतां शरवर्षं वृष्टिमन्ताविवाम्बुदौ ॥ ७.२०१.९३ ॥
The two of them, the son of Droṇa and Bhīma, valiant and mighty in battle, poured down a rain of arrows like two clouds bearing rain.

भीमनामाङ्किता बाणाः स्वर्णपुङ्खाः शिलाशिताः ।
द्रौणिं सञ्छादयामासुर्घनौघा इव भास्करम् ॥ ७.२०१.९४ ॥
Arrows marked with Bhīma's name, with golden shafts, sharpened on stone, covered the son of Droṇa as masses of clouds cover the sun.

अवाकीर्यत स क्षिप्रं शरैः शतसहस्रशः ॥ ७.२०१.९५ ॥
In the same way, Bhīma was quickly covered over by hundreds of thousands of arrows with bent joints, released by Drauṇi.

न विव्यथे महाराज तदद्भुतमिवाभवत् ॥ ७.२०१.९६ ॥
Though covered in battle by Drauṇi, the skilled warrior, he was not distressed, O great king; that was wonderful indeed.

नाराचान्दश सम्प्रैषीद्यमदण्डनिभाञ्छितान् ॥ ७.२०१.९७ ॥
Then Bhīma of the mighty arms sent forth ten sharp nārāca arrows, adorned with gold and like the staff of Yama.

ते जत्रुदेशमासाद्य द्रोणपुत्रस्य मारिष ।
निर्भिद्य विविशुस्तूर्णं वल्मीकमिव पन्नगाः ॥ ७.२०१.९८ ॥
O noble one, reaching the collarbone region of Drona's son, they pierced through and swiftly entered him, like serpents entering an anthill.

सोऽतिविद्धो भृशं द्रौणिः पाण्डवेन महात्मना ।
ध्वजयष्टिं समासाद्य न्यमीलयत लोचने ॥ ७.२०१.९९ ॥
Sorely pierced by the high-souled Pāṇḍava, Drauṇi grasped the banner-staff and closed his eyes.

क्रोधं परममातस्थौ समरे रुधिरोक्षितः ॥ ७.२०१.१०० ॥
After a moment, O lord of men, Drauṇi regained consciousness again, and drenched in blood, he took up supreme anger in battle.
7.201.101
दृढं सोऽभिहतस्तेन पाण्डवेन महात्मना ।
वेगं चक्रे महाबाहुर्भीमसेनरथं प्रति ॥ ७.२०१.१०१ ॥
Struck hard by the great-souled Pāṇḍava, the mighty-armed one charged with speed toward Bhīmasena's chariot.
7.201.102
तत आकर्णपूर्णानां शराणां तिग्मतेजसाम् ।
शतमाशीविषाभानां प्रेषयामास भारत ॥ ७.२०१.१०२ ॥
Then, O Bhārata, he sent forth a hundred sharp arrows, drawn to the ear, resembling venomous serpents.
7.201.103
भीमोऽपि समरश्लाघी तस्य वीर्यमचिन्तयत् ।
तूर्णं प्रासृजदुग्राणि शरवर्षाणि पाण्डवः ॥ ७.२०१.१०३ ॥
Bhīma, proud in battle, also weighed his prowess, and the Pāṇḍava swiftly unleashed fierce showers of arrows.

आजघानोरसि क्रुद्धः पाण्डवं निशितैः शरैः ॥ ७.२०१.१०४ ॥
Then, O great king, the enraged son of Droṇa cut his bow with arrows and struck the Pāṇḍava in the chest with sharp shafts.

विव्याध निशितैर्बाणैर्द्रौणिं पञ्चभिराहवे ॥ ७.२०१.१०५ ॥
Then the impatient Bhīmasena took up another bow and pierced Droṇa's son in battle with five sharp arrows.
7.201.106
जीमूताविव घर्मान्ते तौ शरौघप्रवर्षिणौ ।
अन्योन्यक्रोधताम्राक्षौ छादयामासतुर्युधि ॥ ७.२०१.१०६ ॥
Like two thunderclouds at the end of summer, pouring down torrents of arrows, their eyes reddened with mutual anger, the two covered each other in battle.
7.201.107
तलशब्दैस्ततो घोरैस्त्रासयन्तौ परस्परम् ।
अयुध्येतां सुसंरब्धौ कृतप्रतिकृतैषिणौ ॥ ७.२०१.१०७ ॥
Then, terrifying each other with fearsome slapping sounds, greatly enraged and seeking to return blow for blow, the two fought.
7.201.108
ततो विष्फार्य सुमहच्चापं रुक्मविभूषितम् ।
भीमं प्रैक्षत स द्रौणिः शरानस्यन्तमन्तिकात्।
शरद्यहर्मध्यगतो द्रीप्तार्चिरिव भास्करः ॥ ७.२०१.१०८ ॥
Then, drawing his great gold-adorned bow, the son of Droṇa looked upon Bhīma, shooting arrows from close by, like the sun blazing with rays at midday in autumn.
7.201.109
आददनास्य विशिखान्सन्दधानस्य चाशुगान् ।
विकर्षतो मुञ्चतश्च नान्तरं ददृशुर्जनाः ॥ ७.२०१.१०९ ॥
Taking up his arrows, fitting them to the bow, drawing and releasing, the people saw no interval between them.
7.201.110
अलातचक्रप्रतिमं तस्य मण्डलमायुधम् ।
द्रौणेरासीन्महाराज बाणान्विसृजतस्तदा ॥ ७.२०१.११० ॥
O great king, the weapon of Droṇa's son, as he released arrows, appeared as a circle like a wheel of fire-brands.
7.201.111
धनुश्च्युताः शरास्तस्य शतशोऽथ सहस्रशः ।
आकाशे प्रत्यदृश्यन्त शलभानामिवायतीः ॥ ७.२०१.१११ ॥
Released from his bow, hundreds and thousands of his arrows were seen in the sky like long rows of locusts.
7.201.112
ते तु द्रौणिविनिर्मुक्ताः शरा हेमविभूषिताः ।
अजस्रमन्वकीर्यन्त घोरा भीमरथं प्रति ॥ ७.२०१.११२ ॥
Those terrible gold-adorned arrows released by Droṇa's son poured unceasingly upon Bhīma's chariot.
7.201.113
तत्राद्भुतकमपश्याम भीमसेनस्य विक्रमम् ।
बलं वीर्यं प्रभावं च व्यवसायं च भारत ॥ ७.२०१.११३ ॥
There we saw the wonderful prowess of Bhīmasena: his strength, his vigour, his power, and his resolve, O descendant of Bharata.
7.201.114
तां स मेघादिवोद्भूतां बाणवृष्टिं समन्ततः ।
जलवृष्टिं महाघोरां तपान्त इव चिन्तयन् ॥ ७.२०१.११४ ॥
That rain of arrows risen from the clouds, spreading on every side, most terrible like a downpour of water, he regarded as though at the end of summer.
7.201.115
द्रोणपुत्रवधप्रेप्सुर्भीमो भीमपराक्रमः ।
अमुञ्चच्छरवर्षाणि प्रावृषीव बलाहकः ॥ ७.२०१.११५ ॥
Bhīma of terrible prowess, desiring the slaughter of Droṇa's son, let loose showers of arrows like a cloud in the rainy season.
7.201.116
तद्रुक्मपृष्टं भीमस्य धनुर्घारं महारणे ।
विकृष्यमाणं विबभौ शक्रचापमिवापरम् ॥ ७.२०१.११६ ॥
In the great battle, Bhīma's terrible bow with its golden back, being drawn, shone like another bow of Indra.
7.201.117
तस्माच्छराः प्रादुरासञ्छतशोऽथ सहस्रशः ।
सञ्छादयन्तः समरे द्रौणिमाहवशोभिनम् ॥ ७.२०१.११७ ॥
From it arose arrows by hundreds and then by thousands, covering in battle the glorious son of Droṇa.
7.201.118
तयोर्विसृजतोरेवं शरजालानि मारिष ।
वायुरप्यन्तरा राजन्नाशक्नोत्प्रतिसर्पितुम् ॥ ७.२०१.११८ ॥
As those two went on releasing nets of arrows, O sire, even the wind could not make its way between them, O king.
7.201.119
तथा द्रौणिर्महाराज शरान्हेमविभूषितान् ।
तैलधौतान्प्रसन्नाग्रान्प्राहिणोद्वधकाङ्क्षया ॥ ७.२०१.११९ ॥
Likewise, great king, the son of Droṇa sent forth arrows adorned with gold, washed in oil, with bright tips, desiring to kill.
7.201.120
तानन्तरिक्षे विशिखैस्त्रिधैकैकमशातयत् ।
विशेषयन्द्रोणसुतं तिष्ठतिष्ठेति चाब्रवीत् ॥ ७.२०१.१२० ॥
In the sky he cut each of them into three with arrows, and called to the son of Droṇa, 'Stand, stand!'
7.201.121
पुनश्च शरवर्षाणि घोराण्युग्राणि पाण्डवः ।
व्यसृजद्बलवानक्रुद्धो द्रोणपुत्रवधेप्सया ॥ ७.२०१.१२१ ॥
Again the mighty Pāṇḍava, though not angry, released terrible and fierce showers of arrows, desiring to kill the son of Droṇa.
7.201.122
ततोऽस्त्रमायया तूर्णं शरवृष्टिं निवार्य ताम् ।
धनुश्चिच्छेद भीमस्य द्रोणपुत्रो महास्त्रवित्।
शरैश्चैनं सुबहुभिः क्रुद्धः सङ्ख्ये पराभिनत् ॥ ७.२०१.१२२ ॥
Then the son of Droṇa, expert in great weapons, swiftly warded off that shower of arrows by the illusion of weapons, cut Bhīma's bow, and in anger struck him in battle with very many arrows.
7.201.123
स छिन्नधन्वा बलवान्रथशक्तिं सुदारुणाम् ।
वेगेनाविध्य चिक्षेप द्रोणपुत्ररथं प्रति ॥ ७.२०१.१२३ ॥
Though his bow was broken, the mighty one brandished a very dreadful chariot-spear with force and hurled it toward the chariot of the son of Droṇa.
7.201.124
तामापतन्तीं सहसा महोल्काभां शितैः शरैः ।
चिच्छेद समरे द्रौणिर्दर्शयन्पाणिलाघवम् ॥ ७.२०१.१२४ ॥
That great meteor-like missile hurtling down suddenly, the son of Droṇa cut it in battle with sharp arrows, displaying his dexterity of hand.
7.201.125
एतस्मिन्नन्तरे भीमो दृढमादाय कार्मुकम् ।
द्रौणिं विव्याध विशिखैः स्मयमानो वृकोदरः ॥ ७.२०१.१२५ ॥
Meanwhile Bhīma, wolf-bellied, took up his bow firmly and, smiling, pierced Droṇa's son with arrows.
7.201.126
ततो द्रौणिर्महाराज भीमसेनस्य सारथिम् ।
ललाटे दारयामास शरेणानतपर्वणा ॥ ७.२०१.१२६ ॥
Then, great king, Droṇa's son struck the forehead of Bhīmasena's charioteer with an arrow whose shaft was bent at the joints.
7.201.127
सोऽतिविद्धो बलवता द्रोणपुत्रेण सारथिः ।
व्यामोहमगमद्राजन्रश्मीनुत्सृज्य वाजिनां ॥ ७.२०१.१२७ ॥
Grievously wounded by the mighty son of Droṇa, that charioteer, O king, fell into confusion and let go the reins of the horses.
7.201.128
ततोऽश्वाः प्राद्रवंस्तूर्णं मोहिते रथसारथौ ।
भीमसेनस्य राजेनद्र् पश्यतां सर्वधन्विनाम् ॥ ७.२०१.१२८ ॥
Then, as the charioteer was bewildered, the horses swiftly bolted, O lord of kings, while all the archers of Bhīmasena looked on.
7.201.129
तं दृष्ट्वा प्रद्रुतैरश्वैरपकृष्टं रणाजिरात् ।
दध्मौ प्रमुदितः शङ्खं बृहन्तमपराजितः ॥ ७.२०१.१२९ ॥
Seeing him carried away from the battlefield by the fleeing horses, the unconquered hero joyfully blew his great conch.
7.201.130
ततः सर्वे च पाञ्चाला भीमसेनश्च पाण्डवः ।
धृष्टद्युम्नरथं त्यक्त्वा भीताः सम्प्राद्रवन्दिशः ॥ ७.२०१.१३० ॥
Then all the Pāñcālas and the Pāṇḍava Bhīmasena, frightened, abandoned Dhṛṣṭadyumna's chariot and fled in all directions.
7.201.131
तान्प्रभग्नांस्ततो द्रौणिः पृष्ठतो विकिरञ्शरान् ।
अभ्यवर्तत वेगेन कालयन्पाण्डुवाहिनीम् ॥ ७.२०१.१३१ ॥
Then the son of Droṇa, shooting arrows from behind, advanced swiftly upon those routed men, destroying the army of the Pāṇḍavas.
7.201.132
ते वध्यमानाः समरे द्रोणपुत्रेण पार्थिवाः ।
द्रोणपुत्रभयाद्राजन्दिशः सर्वाश्च भेजिरे ॥ ७.२०१.१३२ ॥
O king, those warriors being slain in battle by the son of Droṇa fled in all directions out of fear of the son of Droṇa.
