That mighty arined hero rushed furiously upon the chariot of Bhimasena. Then, O Bharata, he sped a group of hundred arrows, all endued with fiery energy, shot from a string drawn back to the car and resembling snakes of virulent poison. Ever boastful in battle and in utter disregard of the prowess of his adversary Bhima.
