Endued as they were with great strength, fought on with Bhima, inspired with the hope of victory. Then Dushasana excited with wrath, hurled a lance at Bhima. Desirous of slaying the son of Pandu, he then threw that lance at the former-lance that was made entirely of steed and that was exceedingly sharp. Then the mighty lance hurled by your son when it was coursing towards Bhima.
ततो दुःशासन क्रुद्धो रथशक्तिं समाक्षिपत्। सर्वपारसवीं तीक्ष्णां जिघांसुः पाण्डुनन्दनम्॥ आपतन्तीं महाशक्तिं तव पुत्रप्रणोदिताम्। द्विधा चिच्छेद तां भीमस्तदद्भुतमिवाभवत्॥
