In it is also narrated how the magnanimous Krishna, seeing the loss inflicted on the Pandava army, jumped from the chariot and ran swiftly, with dauntless breast and his driving whip in hand, to kill Bhishma. In this Parva also, Krishna smote Arjuna.
समीक्ष्याधोक्षज: क्षिप्रं युधिष्ठिरहिते रतः। रथादाप्लुत्य वेगेन स्वयं कृष्ण उदारधीः॥ प्रतोदपाणिराधावद्भीष्मं हन्तुं व्यपेतभीः। वाक्यप्रतोदाभिहतो यत्र कृष्णेन पाण्डवः॥
