Sutasoma also could not make Vikarna waver. It was a wonderful sight. That great carwarrior, that foremost of men, that greatly powerful Chekitan rushed upon Susharma for the sake of the Pandavas. O king of kings, Susharma however cheated the advance of that great car-warrior Chekitana with heavy shower of Chekitana also becoming exceedingly angry showered on Susharma a shower of arrows as a mass of clouds shower rain on a mountain.
सुतसोमो विकर्णं च तदद्भुतविवाभवत्॥ सुशर्माणं नरव्याघ्रश्चेकितानो महारथः। अभ्यद्रवत् सुसंक्रुद्धः पाण्डवार्थे पराक्रमीः॥ सुशर्मा तु महाराज चेकितानं महारथम्। महता शरवर्षेण वारयामास संयुगे॥ चेकितानोऽपि संरब्धः सुशर्माणं महाहवे। प्राच्छादयत् तमिषुभिर्महामेघ इवाचलम्॥
