During that pitchy-dark night, like that (which had taken place) between Shakra and Prahada (in days of yore). Then, in that engagement, Ghatotkacha, inflamed with wrath, struck the son of Drona in the chest with ten arrows resembling the Yuga fire. The son of Drona, endued with great strength (thus) deeply pierced in that encounter by the Rakshasa, became (greatly) afflicted and trembled like a tree shaken by the wind. Leaning against his flag-staff (for support), he fell into a swoon.
विगाढे रजनीमध्ये शक्रप्रह्लादयोरिव। ततो घटोत्कचो बाणैर्दशभिौणिमाहवे॥ जधानोरसि संक्रुद्धः कालज्वलनसंनिभैः। स तैरभ्यायतैर्विद्धो राक्षसेन महाबलः॥ चचाल समरे द्रौणिवार्तनुन्न इव दुमः। स मोहमनुसम्प्राप्तो ध्वजयष्टिं समाश्रितः॥
