Those Kshatriyas then urged on by fate fought on with Arjuna. Arjuna however singlehandedly checked those thousands of chariots, elephants and horses and finally compelled them to turn back. Then Subala's son with eyes coppery in rage and excited to the highest pitch of fury, pierced with twenty shafts that slayer of foes namely the puissant Arjuna. Then again he impeded the course of Arjuna's mighty car with a group of hundred arrows.
अर्जुनं योधयन्ति स्म क्षत्रियाः कालचोदिताः। तान्यर्जुनः सहस्राणि रथवारणवाजिनाम्॥ प्रत्यवारयदायस्तः प्रकुर्वन् विपुलं क्षयम्। ततस्तु समरे शूरः शकुनिः सौबलस्तदा॥ विव्याध निशितैर्बाणैरर्जुनं प्रहसन्निव। पुनश्चैव शतेनास्य संरुरोध महारथम्॥
