As soon as the Pandava (Arjuna) saw her escaping, he cut off her head by means of sharp arrows, but the husband of Sachi, the wielder of thunder, Indra, saw all this; and he resolved to save the son of his friend. He raised a violent wind and deprived Arjuna of his consciousness. In the meantime Ashvasena succeeded in effecting his escape.
तस्याः शरेण तीक्ष्णेन पृथुधारेण पाण्डवः। शिरश्चिच्छेद गच्छन्त्यास्तामपश्यच्छचीपतिः॥ तं मुमोचयिषुर्वज्री वातवर्षेण पाण्डवम्। मोहयामास तत्कालमश्वसेनस्त्वमुच्यत॥
