I took to discharging duly the celestials weapons. But the thousands of weapons, discharged by those car-warriors, the wonderful fighters, gradually repelled my celestials weapons, and I beheld hundreds and thousands of exceedingly powerful (Danavas) ranging on their cars, in battle, displaying various tactics. Adorned with variegated helmets ornamented mails, furnished with beautiful flags.
ततोऽहमानुपूर्येण दिव्यान्यस्त्राण्ययोजयम्। ततस्तानि सहस्राणि रथिनां चित्रयोधिनाम्॥ अस्त्राणि मम दिव्यानि प्रत्यघ्नन् शनकैरिव। रथमार्गान् विचित्रांस्ते विचरन्तो महाबलाः॥ प्रत्यदृश्यन्त संचामे शतशोऽथ सहस्रशः। विचित्रमुकुटापीडा विचित्रकवचध्वजाः॥
