Seeing his brother Uttara killed and seeing Shalya on the Kritavarman's car, Virata's son Shveta blazed up in anger as fire blazed forth with Ghee. That great warrior stretching his large bow that looked like that of Indra, rushed upon Shalya, the king of Madra with the desire of killing him. Surrounded on all sides with innumerable car-warriors, he advanced towards Shalya's chariot and poured upon him a on car shower of arrows. Seeing him rush to the fight with the prowess of an infuriated elephants, seven car-warriors of your side surrounded him on all sides with the desire of protecting the ruler of Madra who seemed to be already within the jaws of death.
उत्तरं वै हतं दृष्ट्वा वैराटिर्भ्रातरं तदा। कृतवर्मणा च सहितं दृष्ट्वा शल्यमवस्थितम्॥ श्वेतः क्रोधात् प्रजज्वाल हविषा हव्यवाडिव। स विस्फार्य महच्चापं शक्रचापोपमं बली॥ अभ्यधावज्जिघांसन् वै शल्य मद्राधिपं बली। महता रथवंशेन समन्तात् परिवारितः॥ मुञ्चन् बाणमयं वर्ष प्रायाच्छल्यरधं प्रति। तमापतन्तं सम्प्रेक्ष्य मत्तवारणविक्रमम्॥ तावकानां रथाः सप्त समन्तात् पर्यवारयन्। मद्रराजमभीप्सन्तो मृत्योर्दष्ट्रान्तरं गतम्॥
