Shakuni, too, on the other hand, who was of light arms and who was acquainted with all sorts of warfare and who, again, was most desirous of winning victory, severed all those shafts with other winged arrows of his own. Then he (Shakuni), who was greatly enraged, after having restrained these arrows with the keen arrows of his own in the field of battle, struck down Sutasoma with three other shafts.
ताशराशकुनिस्तूर्णं चिच्छेदान्यैः पतित्रिभिः। लघ्वस्त्रश्चित्रयोधी च जितकाशी च संयुगे॥ निवार्य समरे चापि शरांस्तान् निशितैः शरैः। आजघान सुसंक्रुद्धः सुतसोमं त्रिभिः शरैः॥
