Then the son of Shantanu, Bhishma, took up another bow in that battle and wounded Shveta with arrows, furnished with the feather of Kanka birds. Then that commander (Shveta) in great anger wounded Bhishma in that battle with innumerable arrows in the very sight of all. Seeing Bhishma, that foremost of all the warriors, checked in the battle by Shveta the king (Duryodhana) became exceedingly cheerless, and your whole army felt themselves in great distress. Seeing the heroic Bhislima checked and wounded by Shveta with his arrows, a!' thought that Bhishma had been killed.
ततोऽन्यद् धनुरादाय भीष्मः शान्तनवो युधि॥ श्वेतं विव्याध राजेन्द्र कङ्कपत्रैः शितैः शरैः। ततः सेनापतिः क्रुद्धो भीष्मं बहुभिरायसैः॥ विव्याध समरे राजन् सर्वलोकस्य पश्यतः। ततः प्रव्यथितो राजा भीष्मं दृष्ट्वा निवारितम्॥ । प्रवीरं सर्वलोकस्य श्वेतेन युधि वै तदा। निष्ठानकश्च सुमहांस्तव सैन्यस्य चाभवत्॥ तं वीरं वारितं दृष्ट्वा श्वेतेन शरविक्षतम्। हतं श्वेतेन मन्यन्ते श्वेतस्य वशमागतम्॥
