O king, the horses and charioteers of cars were killed the cavalry were destroyed and the riders of elephants were slain. Thus a dreadful slaughter of animals was carried on by Partha in that battle. Then the car-warriors fell down slain by arrows shot off Partha's bow.
रथैर्हताश्वसूतैश्च हतारोहैश्च वाजिभिः। द्विरदैश्च हतारोहैर्महामात्रैर्हतद्विपैः॥ पार्थेन समरे राजन् कृतो घोरो जनक्षयः। निहता रथिनः पेतुः पार्थचापच्युतैः शरैः॥
