O foremost of Bharatas, that great carwarrior, although striving hard, could not kill Dhristadyumna, who had his bow and car broken and horses slain and was wounded with various arrows.
धृष्टद्युम्नं हि विरथं हताश्वं छिन्नकार्मुकम्। शरैश्च बहुधा विद्धमस्त्रैश्च शकलीकृतम्॥ नाशकद् भरतश्रेष्ठ यतमानो महारथः।
