Then borne by his well-trained steeds possessed of the fleetness of Garuda or of the wind and perfectly obedient to the behests of him who held their reins, Abhimanyu quickly repulsed the heir of Ashmaka. Standing before him, the prosperous and mighty son of Ashmaka, pierced him with ten arrows, saying all the while, stay stay.
गरुडानिलरहोभिर्यन्तुर्वाक्यकरैर्हयैः। दान्तैरश्मकदायादस्त्वरमाणो ह्यवारयत्॥ विव्याध दशभिर्बाणैस्तिष्ठ तिष्ठति चाब्रवीत्।
