M. N. Dutt: Thousands of kings came in contact with your father who was thus roving over the field in a super-human way. They fell into that fire Bhishma as flights of senseless insects fall on a blazing fire for their own destruction. Not a single arrow of that light-handed hero was futile. They cut down innumerable men, elephants and steeds. With one single straight arrow he felled down one big elephants, as a hill is brought down by the thunder-bolt. Your sire, with sharp arrows, pierced at a time two or three elephant riders clad in armour. Whoever came near that foremost of men Bhishina in that battle, was seen the very next moment to fall down on the ground. The vast army of Dharmaraja Yudhishthira, having been thus slaughtered by the greatly powerful Bhishma, gave way in one thousand directions. Thus afflicted by that shower of arrows, that vast army began to tremble even in the presence of Vasudeva (Krishna) and the illustrious Partha (Arjuna). Though the heroic leaders of the Pandu army tried their utmost, yet they could not prevent the great car-warriors of their side from running away. The prowess with which Bhishma routed that vast army was equal to that of the lord of the celestials himself. O great king, that great army was so completely routed that no two persons were seen together; cars, elephants, and horses were pierced all over their bodies, and the standards and arrows were strewn over the field. The Pandava army cried “Oh” and “Alas”, and became deprived of its senses. Father struck the son and the son struck the father; friends fought with dearest friends as if all were under the influence of fate. O descendant of Bharata many men of the Pandava army were seen with disheveled hair to run away throwing aside their armours. The Pandava army uttered loud lamentations. Even the very leaders of their car-warriors were seen to be as confounded as a very herd of kinc. Having seen the army thus routed, that delighter of the Yudu race (Krishna) stopped that best of car (belonging to Arjuna) and thus spoke to Partha: "O son of Pritha, the hour has now come which was desired by you. O foremost of men, strike Bhishma or else you will lose your senses. O hero, formerly in the assembly of the kings you said," I will kill all the warriors of the sons of Dhritarashtra, headed by Bhishma and Drona, all who will fight me in battle, O Vibhatsu, O son of Kunti, O chastiser of foes, make your words now true. Your army is routed on all sides. Behold, all the kings of Yudhisthira's army are flying away, on seeing Bhishma in battle who looks like the destroyer himself with his wide open mouth. Having been afflicted with fear, they are running away, as do the small animals at the sight of the lion". Having been thus addressed, Dhananjaya thus spoke to Vasudeva. "Plunging through this sea of the hostile army, drive the horses to the spot where Bhishma is. I shall fell down (today) that invincible warriors, the revered Kuru grandsire. |

Neither the sky, nor the directions, nor the earth, nor the brilliant sun could be seen. were The winds that blew appeared to be mixed with smoke; all the directions seemed to be agitated.

The grandson of Shini saw that Kiritin was surrounded by many thousands of horse and foot soldiers and car-warriors and great elephants. Having seen Vasudeva and Arjuna thus surrounded by infantry and elephants and horses and cars on all sides that foremost of all wielders of arms, that chief of the Shini's, soon went to that place. That ioremost of bowmen, the Shini Chief quickly rushed upon those troops and soon came to Arjuna's aid, as cars Vishnu came to the slayer Vritra. That foremost of Shini warriors cheerfully thus addressed the troops of Yudhishthira who were all frightened by Bhishma, and whose elephants, horses and numberless standards had been mangled and broken into pieces and who were all flying away from the battle-field “O Kshatriyas, were do you go? This is not the duty of virtuous men as declared by the ancients. O foremost of heroes, do not violate your pledges; observe your own duties as heroes." Having seen that the foremost of kings were flying away from the field of battle and having also marked the mildness with which Partha fought and seeing also that Bhishma was exerting himself with all his powers and that the Kurus were rushing from all sides, the younger brother of Vasava, the illustrious protector of all the Dasharnas become unable to bear it all. He thus spoke to the famous grandson of Shini and praised him much; “O hero of the Shini race, those that are retreating are ended retreating. O Satvata chief those that are still staying, let them also go away. Behold, I shall soon fell Bhishma down from his car and also Drona in this battle with all their followers. O Satvata chief, there is none in the Kuru army who can escape me when I am angry. Therefore taking up my fearful discus I shall (today) kill Bhishma of rigid vows. O grandson of Shini, killing in battle these two foremost of car-warriors, namely Bhishma and Drona with all their followers, I shall gladden the heart of Dhananjaya and the king (Yudhishthira) and also of Bhima and the twin Ashvins. Killing all the sons of Dhritarashtra and all those foremost of kings who have taken their side, I will with great joy secure a kingdom today for Ajatashatru.” |

M. N. Dutt: The feat achieved today by Dhananjaya is indeed a very great one! None else is capable of doing it. The king of the Ambashtha, Shrutayu, Durmarshana, Chitrasena, Drona, Kripa, the Sindhu king, Balhika, Bhurishravas, Shalya, Shala, a hundreds of others warriors with Bhishma at their head have today been defeated by the wrathful son of Pritha, Kiritin, the great car-warrior of the world". O descendant of Bharata, talking thus, all the troops of your army went to their tents from the field of battle. All the troops of the Kuru army frightened by Kiritin then went into their tents illuminated by thousands of torches and by innumerable lamps. |
