Thereupon the charioteer running in haste, ascended the car of Yudhamyu. Burning with Wrath, Radha's son, whose effulgence then equaled the effulgence of the Yuga-fire, cut-off the standard of Bhima and felled his banner, smiling the while. Deprived of the use of his bow, Bhima then grasped a fearful lance.
सोऽपसृत्य दुतं सूतो युधामन्यो रथं ययौ। विहसन्निव भीमस्य क्रुद्धः कालानलद्युतिः॥ ध्वज चिच्छेद राधेयः पताकां च व्यपातयत्। स विधन्वा महाबाहुरथ शक्तिं परामृशत्॥
