Then the wielder of Gandiva and Janardana, with great delight attacked loud shouts. The Kurus with Bhishma and Drona and Duryodhana and Balhịka all mortally wounded by the weapons (of Arjuna) then saw the sun withdraw his rays. Seeing also the Mahendra weapon spread out and causing as it were the end of the Yuga, they withdrew their force for the night's rests. Thus having achieved a great feat and won great renown and having seen the sun assume a red colour and the evening twilight set in and having completed his work (for that day), Arjuna retired with his brothers to the camp for the night's rest. Then when darkness set in, a fearful and great uproar was made by the Kuru troops.
विनेदतुस्तावतिहर्षयुक्ती गाण्डीवधन्वा च जनार्दनश्च। ततो रविं संवृतरश्मिजालं दृष्ट्वा भृशं शस्त्रपरिक्षताङ्गाः॥ मसह्यमुद्वीक्ष्य युगान्तकल्पम्। अथापयानं कुरवः सभीष्माः सद्रोणदुर्योधनबाह्निकाच॥ चक्रुर्निशां संधिगतां समीक्ष्य विभावसोर्लोहितरागयुक्ताम्। अवाप्य कीर्तिं च यशश्च लोके विजित्य शंत्रूश्च धनंजयोऽपि।।१३३ ययौ नरेन्द्रैः सह सौदरैश्च समाप्तकर्मा शिबिरं निशायाम्। ततः प्रजज्ञे तुमुलः कुरूणां निशामुखे घोरतमः प्रणादः॥
