Bhimasena, O monarch, hastily took him up on his chariot. Your son also, O king, in that conflict, speedily took up Bhurishravas on his car before the very eyes of all the assembled bowmen. When thus the battle raged, the son of Pandu (Arjuna), inflamed with wrath began to fight with that mighty car-warrior viz., Bhishma, O foremost of the Bharatas. When then the orb of the day assumed a crimson hue, Dhananjaya displaying great activity,
भीमसेनस्त्वरन् राजन् रथमारोपयत् तदा॥ तवापि तनयो राजन् भूरिश्रवसमाहवे। आरोपयद् रथं तूर्णं पश्यतां सर्वधन्विनाम्॥ तस्मिंस्तथा वर्तमाने रणे भीष्मं महारथम्। अयोधयन्त संरब्धाः पाण्डवा भरतर्षभ॥ लोहितायति चादित्ये त्वरमाणो धनंजयः।
