Then bending the strong stringed bow, the twang of which resembled the deep roar of the sea, he invoked the Bhargava weapon and cutoff all the shots coming out of the mouth of the Indra weapon (shot by Arjuna). He thus cut-off the weapons of his enemy, many of the cars, elephants and foot soldiers of the Pandava army by virtue of the Bhargava weapon, himself not being able to bear the prowess of Arjuna in that battle.
दृढज्यमानाभ्य समुद्रघोषं प्रादुश्चक्ते भार्गवास्त्रं महात्मा। श्छित्त्वा कर्णः पाण्डवस्येषुसंघान्॥ तस्यास्त्रमस्त्रेण निहत्य सोऽथ जघान संख्ये रथनागपत्तीन्। अमृष्यमाणश्च महेन्द्रकर्मा महारणे भार्गवास्त्रप्रतापात्॥
