Bhima then killed seven hundred heroes; that chastiser of foes then sent two thousand Kalingas to the region of Death. It was a wonderful feat; it was thus that the heroic and the fearfully strong Bhima again and again killed in that battle a very large number of the Kalingas. Elephants were deprived of their riders by that son of Pandu. Afflicted with arrows they roved about the field, treading down innumerable troops and uttering roars like those of the clouds.
भीमः सप्त शतान् वीराननयद् यमसादनम्। पुनश्चैव द्विसाहस्रान् कलिङ्गानरिमर्दनः॥ प्राहिणोन्मृत्युलोकाय तदद्भुतमिवाभवत्। एवं स तान्यनीकानि कलिङ्गानां पुनः पुनः॥ बिभेद समरे तूर्णं प्रेक्ष्य भीष्मं महारथम्। हतारोहाश्च मातङ्गाः पाण्डवेन कृता रणे॥ विप्रजग्मुरनीकेषु मेघा वातहता इव। मृद्गन्तः स्वान्यनीकानि विनदन्तः शरातुराः॥
