Others again fled away on simply seeing him. It was thus that the great and powerful army of the Kalingas surrounded Bhimasena and rushed upon him. O best of the Bharata race, seeing, the Shrutayu at the head of the Kalinga troops, Bhimasena rushed at him. Seeing Shrutayu at the head of the Kalinga troops Bhimsena rushed at him. Seeing him come, the Kalinga king wounded Bhimasena with nine arrows. Wounded by those arrows shot by the Kalinga king, like an elephant pierced by the hook.
अपरे चैनमालोक्य भायत् पञ्चत्वमागताः। एवं सा बहुला सेना कलिङ्गानां तरस्विनाम्॥ परिवार्य रणे भीष्मं भीमसेनमुपाद्रवत्। तत: कालिङ्गसैन्यानां प्रमुखे भरतर्षभ।६७॥ श्रुतायुषमभिप्रेक्ष्य भीमसेनः समभ्ययात्। तमायान्तमभिप्रेक्ष्य कालिङ्गो नवभिः शरैः॥ भीमसेनममेयात्मा प्रत्यविध्यत् स्तनान्तरे। कालिङ्गबाणाभिहतस्तोत्रादित इव द्विपः॥
