तं हतं समरे भीष्मं महारथबलोचितम् । संजयाचक्ष्व मे वीरं येन शर्म न विद्महे॥६-१५-२१॥
Tell me, Saṃjaya, how that Bhīṣma—fit for the strength of a great chariot-warrior—was brought down in the engagement; for we find no reassurance in this.

Which of my great bowmen, O Saṃjaya, did not abandon their position? Which heroes, instructed by Duryodhana, formed a protective cordon?

यच्छिखण्डिमुखाः सर्वे पाण्डवा भीष्ममभ्ययुः । कच्चिन्न कुरवो भीतास्तत्यजुः संजयाच्युतम्॥६-१५-२३॥
When all the Pāṇḍavas, led by Śikhaṇḍin, advanced against Bhīṣma, did the Kurus—out of fear—abandon him, O steadfast Saṃjaya?

मौर्वीघोषस्तनयित्नुः पृषत्कपृषतो महान् । धनुर्ह्रादमहाशब्दो महामेघ इवोन्नतः॥६-१५-२४॥
The twang of the bowstring was like thunder; the great discharge of arrows, like heavy rain; the roar of bows a vast sound—rising like a towering storm-cloud.
