Then rushed upon the son of Pritha like a flight of insects rushing at the flames of a fire. Then, O mighty monarch, that highly powerful hero Dhananjaya, always dreaded in battle, invO king celestial weapons, fixed them on his bowstring, and aiming them at those hundreds of enemy's divisions of car-warriors swiftly consumed them all, by means of those powerful dares of great velocity, like fire burning down a fight of insects. Then the bow Gandiva of that resolute bowman appeared resplendent as he shot myriad's upon myriad's of arrows from it.
अभिपेतू रणे पार्थं पतङ्गा इव पावकम्। शलभा इव राजेन्द्र पार्थमप्रतिमं रणे। एतान् सर्वान् सहानीकान् महाराज महारथान्॥ दिव्यान्यस्त्राणि संचिन्त्य प्रसंधाय धनंजयः। स तैरस्त्रैर्महावेगैर्ददाह सुमहाबलः॥ शरप्रतापैर्बीभत्सुः पतङ्गानिव पावकः। तस्य बाणसहस्राणि सृजतो दृढधन्विनः॥ दीप्यमानमिवाकाशे गाण्डीवं समदृश्यत।
