स तैर्विद्धो महेष्वासः समन्तान्निशितैः शरैः । न विव्यथे महाबाहुर्भिद्यमान इवाचलः॥६-४८-२६॥

Though struck on all sides by those sharp arrows, that great archer, the mighty-armed one, did not waver—like a mountain being split.

english translation

स भीष्मं पञ्चविंशत्या कृपं च नवभिः शरैः । द्रोणं षष्ट्या नरव्याघ्रो विकर्णं च त्रिभिः शरैः॥६-४८-२७॥

Then that tiger among men struck Bhīṣma with twenty-five arrows, Kṛpa with nine, Droṇa with sixty, and Vikarṇa with three arrows.

english translation

आर्तायनिं त्रिभिर्बाणै राजानं चापि पञ्चभिः । प्रत्यविध्यदमेयात्मा किरीटी भरतर्षभ॥६-४८-२८॥

With three arrows he struck Ārtāyani, and with five he struck the king as well; that immeasurable-souled Kirīṭin, O bull among the Bharatas, returned the blows.

english translation

तं सात्यकिर्विराटश्च धृष्टद्युम्नश्च पार्षतः । द्रौपदेयाभिमन्युश्च परिवव्रुर्धनंजयम्॥६-४८-२९॥

Sātyaki, Virāṭa, and Dhṛṣṭadyumna the son of Pārṣata—together with the Draupadeyas and Abhimanyu—then surrounded Dhanañjaya (Arjuna).

ततो द्रोणं महेष्वासं गाङ्गेयस्य प्रिये रतम् । अभ्यवर्षत पाञ्चाल्यः संयुक्तः सह सोमकैः॥६-४८-३०॥

Then the Pāñcāla prince (Dhṛṣṭadyumna), joined with the Somakas, showered arrows upon Droṇa, the great archer who was intent on what was dear to Gāṅgeya (Bhīṣma).
