All those warriors were possessed of great strength, some of them rushed on their car, others on steeds, others on elephants and some on foot. With the whizz of their arrows, with the loud clatter of their car-wheels, with warcries, with roars, whoops and exclamations, with leonine roars and cries with the twang of their bow-strings and with many other kinds of sound-seeking to terrify Arjuna's son, they rushed at him saying, “You shall not escape us today with your life, even if it cost us our own lives."
स्थैरश्वैर्गजैश्चान्ये पद्भिश्चान्ये बलोत्कटाः॥ बाणशब्देन महता रथनेमिस्वनेन च। हुंकारैः क्ष्वेडितोत्क्रुष्टैः सिंहनादैः संगर्जितैः॥ ज्यातलत्रस्वनैरन्ये गर्जन्तोऽर्जुननन्दनम्। ब्रुवन्तश्च न नो जीवन् मोक्ष्यसे जीवितादिति॥
