Worshipped by the best of the car-warriors of the Kuru party, like Indra by the immortals, that high-souled and most terrible of all wielders of bow, endowed with immeasurable vigour like the sun himself,-riding on his chariot decorated with gold, gems and jewels, mounted with a magnificent standard, to which were harnessed finest animals and the rattle of which resembled the rumbling of clouds, went, attended by a mighty host, to the battle-field where that foremost of the Bharata race (Bhishma) had obtained his quietus.
सम्पूज्यमानः कुरुभिर्महात्मा रथर्षभो देवगणैर्यथेन्द्रः। ययौ तदायोधनमुग्रधन्वा यत्रावसानं भरतर्षभस्या।३५।। वरूथिना महता सध्वजेन सुवर्णमुक्तामणिरत्नमालिना। सदश्वयुक्तेन रथेन कर्णो मेघस्वनेनार्क इवामितौजाः॥
