Beholding the lord of the universe thus pierced, that powerful car-warrior Dhananjaya, the son of Pritha, restrained the course of Satyasena by means of keen shafts. Thereupon, he (Dhananjaya) severed the huge head, that ornamented with ear-rings, of that monarch, who stood at the head of the army, from his body by means of whetted broadheaded arrows.
विष्वक्सेनं तु निर्भिन्नं दृष्ट्वा पार्थो धनंजयः। सत्यसेनं शरैस्तीक्ष्णैर्वारयित्वा महारथः॥ ततः सुनिशितैर्भल्लै राज्ञस्तस्य महच्छिरः। कुण्डलोपचितं कायाश्चकर्त पृतनान्तरे॥
