Yet regarding them as mere straws, he careered through the field without the least pain. Those foremost of car-warriors also patiently sped at Bhima sharp arrows by hundreds and thousands. Then the highly powerful heroic Bhagadatta let go his lance of great velocity and of a golden staff at that illustrious warrior Bhima. The mighty-armed king of the Sindhus hurled at the latter a lance and a battle-axe.
मत्वा तृणेन तांस्तुल्यान् विचचार गतव्यथः॥ ते चापि रथिनां श्रेष्ठा भीमाय निशिताञ्छरान्। प्रेषयामासुरव्यग्राः शतशोऽथ सहस्रशः॥ तस्य शक्तिं महावेगां भगदत्तो महारथः। चिक्षेप समरे वीरः स्वर्णदण्डां महामते॥ तोमरं सैन्धवो राजा पट्टिशं च महाभुजः।
