Then that son of Pandu imparting delight to his friends and grief to his foes, made his head like a Kadamba flower. He fought with those six great car-warriors. O Bharata! There was wonder, he carried that head beyond the precincts of the Samantapanchaka by means of his continuous groups of arrows. Meanwhile king Vridhakshatra.
दुर्हदामप्रहर्षाय सुहृदां हर्षणाय च॥ शरैः कदम्बकीकृत्य काले तस्मिश्च पाण्डवः। योधयामास तांश्चैव पाण्डवः षण्महारथान्॥ ततः सुमहदाश्चर्ये तत्रापश्याम भारत। समन्तपञ्चकाद् बाह्यं शिरो यद् व्यहरत् ततः॥ एतस्मिन्नेव काले तु वृद्धक्षत्रो महीपतिः।
