Taking up his bow resplendent like Indra's bow then Yudhishthira began to destroy his foes in that battle like Garuda killing snakes. With the greatest speed he began to cut off the bodies of his enemies with the keen arrows.
ततो युधिष्ठिरश्चापमादायेन्द्रधनुष्प्रभम्॥ व्यधमद् द्विषतः संख्ये खगराडिव पन्नगान्। देहान् सुनिशितैर्भल्लै रिपूणां नाशयन् क्षणात्॥
