Then that ruler of the Pragjyotisas was sorely wounded by Arjuna's arrows furnished with beautiful wings formed of the feathers of the Kanka birds. Thereafter Bhagadatta, O ruler of men, waxing wroth, hurled lances at the head of Pandu's son owning white steeds. And then he uttered a loud war-cry. Then by those lances, the diadem of Arjuna was displaced.
सोऽतिविद्धोऽर्जुनशरैः सुपुकैः कङ्कपत्रिभिः। भगदत्तस्ततः क्रुद्धः पाण्डवस्य जनाधिपः॥ व्यसृजत् तोमरान् मूर्ध्नि श्वेताश्वस्योन्ननाद च। तैरर्जुनस्य समरे किरीटं परिवर्तितम्॥
