Four hundred fearful and highly trained elephants ridden by wrathful warriors enveloped in golden coloured armors and decked with golden ornaments, urged by the pressure of the heels and toes of their guides, who were also powerful, filled with rage and cruel, came forward and was struck down by the chosen weapons of Kiritin or the diademdecked Arjuna and fell down resembling great mountain tops inhabited by living beings when loosened. Dhananjaya covered the earth by killing many great and choice elephants by his shafts.
