Then that scorcher of foes, viz., Savyasachin, proceeded on his car, discharging hundreds of keen arrows like a cloud pouring showers of rain. Loud noise was produced by those straight arrows as also by those combatants that were covered with them in that battle by Savyasachin. Showers of arrows, piercing through the armour of the warriors, dropped down on the Earth.
ततः प्रायाद् रथेनाजौ सव्यसाची परंतपः। किरशरशतांस्तीक्ष्णान् वारिधारा घनो यथा॥ प्रादुरासीन्महाशब्दः शराणां नतपर्वणाम्। इषुभिश्छाद्यमानानां समरे सव्यसाचिना॥ असज्जन्तस्तनुत्रेषु शरौघा: प्रापतन् भुवि।
