Thereupon your father Devavrata, seeing his standard cut down and the army checked, grew greatly enraged and shot at Shveta innumerable arrows. O king, that foremost of heroes Shveta however baffled all those arrows of Bhishma and he once more cut off with a broad-headed arrow the bow of your father. O king, throwing aside that bow, the son of Ganga took up in great anger another strong and large bow, and aiming seven large broadheaded arrows, killed the four horses of the general Shveta, then he cut down his standard and then, the head of his charioteer.
ततः क्रोधवशं प्राप्तः पिता देवव्रतस्तव। ध्वजमुन्मथितं दृष्ट्वा तां च सेनां निवारिताम्॥ श्वेतं प्रति महाराज व्यसृजत् सायकान् बहून्। तानावार्य रणे श्वेतो भीष्पस्य रथिनां वरः॥ धनुश्चिच्छेद भल्लेन पुनरेव पितुस्तव। उत्सृज्य कार्मुकं राजन् गाङ्गेयः क्रोधमूर्च्छितः॥ अन्यत् कार्मुकमादाय विपुलं बलवत्तरम्। तत्र संधाय विपुलान् भल्लान् सप्त शिलाशितान्॥ चतुर्भिश्च जघानाश्वाच्छ्वेतस्य पृतनापतेः। ध्वजं द्वाभ्यां तु चिच्छेद सप्तमेन च सारथेः॥ शिरश्चिच्छेद भल्लेन संक्रुद्धो लघुविक्रमः।
