Fled away in that night throwing, O monarch, all their flambeaus down. Thereafter wrought up with rage, Alambusha struck Bhima's son in that fierce battle, with numerous arrows, like a guide striking an elephant with the goad. Then Ghatotkacha cutoff into small fragments the chariot, the driver and the weapons of his opponent and laughed terrible. Then like clouds showering torrents of rain on the Meru mountain, Ghatotkacha poured showers of shafts of Karna, Alambusha and all the rest of Kurus. Afflicted by the Rakshasa, the Kuru troops became greatly agitated.
अलम्बुषस्ततः क्रुद्धो भैमसेनि महामृधे। आजघ्ने दशभिर्बाणैस्तोत्रैरिव महाद्विपम्॥ तिलशस्तस्य संवाहं सूतं सर्वायुधानि च। घटोत्कचः प्रचिच्छेद प्रणदंश्चातिदारुणम्॥ ततः कर्णं शरवातैः कुरुनन्यान् सहस्रशः। अलम्बुषं चाभ्यवर्षन्मेघो मेरुमिवाचलम्॥ ततः संचुक्षुभे सैन्यं कुरूणां राक्षसार्दितम्। उपर्युपरि चान्योन्यं चतुरङ्गं ममर्द ह॥
