Then roaring repeatedly like a lion, Krishna endued with strength and fleetness, and of incomparable effulgence, that lord of the universe, having his bare arms for his weapons and wielding the whip in his hands, and with his eyes coppery in rage, rushed towards Bhishma, splitting the earth with his tread, and desirous of slaying the latter.
अभिदुद्राव भीष्मं स भुजप्रहरणो बली। प्रतोदपाणिस्तेजस्वी सिंहवद् विनदन् मुहुः॥ दारयन्निव पद्भ्यां स जगतीं जगदीश्वरः। क्रोधताप्रेक्षणः कृष्णो जिघांसुरमितद्युतिः॥
