The encounter (between the sons of Drona and Prishata) seemed to go on equally for a moment only. Then O mighty monarch, the son of Drona, cutting off the bow, the standard, the umbrellas, the two Parshni drivers, the charioteer and the four steeds of the highsouled son of Prishata in battle, rushed against him.
मुहूर्तमपि तद् युद्धं समरूपं तदाभवत्॥ ततो द्रौणिर्महाराज पार्षतस्य महात्मनः। ध्वजं धनुस्तथा छत्रमुभौ च पाणिसारथी॥
