O son, how was it that the son of Prishata, the prince of the Panchalas, slew that invincible hero, who scattered thick shower of arrows decked with golden wings, who was : (wonderfully) light-handed; that foremost of the regenerate who proficient in everything, thoroughly familiar with all modes of warfare and capable of shooting his shafts to was over a long distance; who was self-controlled, skilful in the use of weapons and blessed with the possession of celestial weapons, that mighty warrior who performed many dreadful feats and who was ever heedful in fight?
कथं नु पार्षतस्तात शत्रुभिर्दुष्प्रधर्षणम्। किरन्तमिषुसंघातान् रुक्मपुङ्खाननेकशः॥ क्षिप्रहस्तं द्विजश्रेष्ठं कृतिनं चित्रयोधिनम्। दूरेषुपातिनं दान्तमस्त्रयुद्धेषु पारगम्॥ पाञ्चालपुत्रो न्यवधीद दिव्यास्त्रधरमच्युतम्। कुर्वाणं दारुणं कर्म रणे यत्तं महारथम्॥
