तां तामलम्बुषो राजन् माययेव निजनिवान्। तं तथा युध्यमानं तु मायायुद्धविशारदम्॥ अलम्बुषं राक्षसेन्द्रं दृष्ट्वाक्रुध्यन्त पाण्डवाः। त एनं भृशसंविग्नाः सर्वतः प्रवरा रथैः॥ अभ्यद्रवन्त संक्रुद्धा भीमसेनादयो नृप। त एनं कोष्ठकीकृत्य रथवंशेन मारिष॥ सर्वतो व्यकिरन् बाणैरुल्काभिरिव कुञ्जरम्। स तेषामस्त्रेवेगं तं प्रतिहत्यास्त्रमायया॥
