Struck with those keen arrows and burnt therewith by Partha even as a herd of elephants is burnt with burning brands, the Kauravas were dispirited and weakened. Armed with bow and arrows, Partha, resembling the burning sun, consumed the hostile heroes in that battle like a blazing fire consuming a heap of dry grass.
पार्थ न प्रजहुर्घोरा वध्यमानाः शितैः शरैः॥ शरचापधरः पार्थ: प्रज्वलन्निवः भास्करः। ददाह समरे योधान् कक्षमग्निरिव ज्वलन्॥
