Satyaki having vanquished all the warriors advanded towards Arjuna. The combatants were compelled to turn their eyes away from the coats of mails covering the warriors, as the reflected the rays of the sun directly. O monarch, Duryodhana then penetrated through the mighty host of the illustrious sons of Pandu striving hard in battle. Then the battle that was there fought between him and them was extremely terrible and the carnage horrible.
तस्मिन् सुतुमले युद्धे वर्तमाने भयावहे॥ जित्वा सर्वाणि सैन्यानि प्रायात् सात्यकिरर्जुनम्। कवचानां प्रभास्ता सूर्यरश्मिविराजिताः॥ दृष्टीः संख्ये सैनिकानां प्रतिजघ्नुः समन्ततः। तथा प्रयतमानानां पाण्डवानां महात्मनाम्॥ दुर्योधनो महाराज व्यगाहत महद् वलम्। स संनिपातस्तुमुलस्तेषां तस्य च भारत॥ अभवत् सर्वभूतानामभावकरणो महान्।
