The fight between these two(heroes) was extremely fearful and hair-string. Satyaki wounded Kritavarma and Kritavarma wounded Satyaki with loud shouts and thus they weakened each other. Pierced all over the body with arrows, those two great warriors shone like two blossoming Kinshukas, when they are adorned with flowers in spring. The great bowman Abhimanyu fought with Brihadbala.
तयोः समभवद् युद्धं तुमुलं लोमहर्षणम्। सात्यकिः कृतवर्माणं कृतवर्मा च सात्यकिम्॥ आनछुतुः शरैरैस्तक्षमाणौ परस्परम्। तौ शराचितसर्वाङ्गौ शुशुभाते महाबलौ॥ वसन्ते पुष्पशबलौ पुष्पिताविव किंशुकौ। अभिमन्युर्महेष्वासं बृहद्बलमयोधयत्॥
