Lacerated the son of Drona with fierce shafts emitting loud roar like those of the thunder. (and Ghatotkacha) showered (upon Drona's son) numerous sorts of weapons, some having leads like razors, some of the form of the crescent, some long and pointed, some with faces like the frogs, some resembling the bear's ear, some barbed and some of other species. The son of Drona, (however), without his senses being in the least affected, frustrated that formidable down pour of weans emitting loud roar like those of the thunder and which were being unremittingly hurled (upon, him), by means of (his own) dreadful shafts inspired with mantras peculiar to the celestial weapons, as, O mighty monarch, the wind (chases away) mighty masses of clouds. Then it appeared that another encounter was going on in the firmament between the arrows (shot by those two rival heroes).
शरैरवचकर्तोगौणिं वज्राशनिप्रभैः। क्षुरप्रैरर्धचन्दैश्च नाराचैःसशिलीमुखैः॥ वराहकर्णैर्नालीकैर्विकर्णैश्चाभ्यवीवृषत्। तां शस्रवृष्टिमतुलां वज्राशनिसमस्वनाम्॥ पतन्तीमुपरि क्रुद्धो द्रौणिरव्यथितेन्द्रियः। सुदुःसहां शरै।रैर्दिव्यासप्रतिमन्त्रितैः॥ व्यधमत् सुमहातेजा महाभ्राणीव मारुतः। ततोऽन्तरिक्षे बाणानां संग्रामोऽन्य इवाभवत्॥
