Then with their persons pierced with shafts and darts, and resembling the flags of the Great Indra let loose from the cords and trembling (in the air), and with their bodies bristling with arrows, those heroes and mighty bowmen-lords of the earth-tormented in consequence of their vitals having been pierced, dropped down to the earth.
ततो विभिन्नसर्वाङ्गौ शरशल्याचितौ कृतौ। ध्वजाविव महेन्द्रस्य रज्जुमुक्तौ प्रकम्पितौ ॥ तौ संप्रबलितौ वीरौ मर्मभेदेन कर्शितौ। निपेततुर्महेष्वासौ जगत्यां जगतीपती॥
