Like the thousand headed serpent Vasuki sporting in the great ocean. As Kiriti continually shot his arrows such was the twang of his bow, going above every sound that the like of if was never heard by creatures. The elephants, that were there with their bodies thickly covered with arrows, looked like black clouds filled with the rays of the sun. Moving in all directions and shooting arrows right and left Arjuna's bow was always seen in the battle like a circle.
अनन्तभोगो भुजगः क्रीडन्निव महार्णवे॥ अस्यतो नित्यमत्यर्थं सर्वमेवातिगस्तथा। अश्रुतः श्रूयते भूतैर्धनुर्घोषः किरीटिनः॥ संततास्तत्र मातङ्गा बाणैरल्पान्तरान्तरे। संवृतास्तेन दृश्यन्ते मेघा इव गभस्तिभिः॥ दिशोऽनुभ्रमतः सर्वाः सव्यदक्षिणमस्यतः। सततं दृश्यते युद्धे सायकासनमण्डलम्॥
