The ruler of the Ambashthas began to strike Vasudeva's son and Arjuna, incessantly. Thereat Arjuna with a couple of razor-headed arrows cut-off his upraised arms weilding the pole of Indra; and then with another winged shaft be cut off his head. Then that king, O monarch, fell down on the earth creating a loud noise.
अर्जुनं वासुदेवं च पुनः पुनरताडयत्। तस्यार्जुनः क्षुरप्राभ्यां सगदावुद्यतौ भुजौ॥ चिच्छेदेन्द्रध्वजाकारौ शिरश्चान्येन पत्रिणा। स पपात हतो राजन् वसुधामनुनादयन्।॥
