Most desirous of highly afflicting both Arjuna and Janaradana with his elephant (possessing tusks), that had his temples split up (out of great excitement) and that resembled a thick mass of clouds and also that was like the wind in speed, Dandadhara had smitten Dhananjaya with his innumerable lances.
ततोऽर्जुनं भिन्नकटेन दन्तिना घनाघनेनानिलतुल्यवर्चसा। अतीव चुक्षोभयिषुर्जनार्दनं धनंजयं चाभिजघान तोमरैः॥
