Bhīṣma, foremost among chariot-warriors, swiftly struck the Pāṇḍava with eighty sharp arrows; then your side raised a loud acclaim.

Having reached the midst of those lion-like chariot-warriors, Dhanaṃjaya (Arjuna), O King, displayed mastery with his bow, taking the great chariot-fighters as his targets.

‘This son of Pāṇḍu, father, powerful and accompanied by Kṛṣṇa, is cutting at the very base of our forces even as all our armies strive. While you, O Gāṅgeya, and Droṇa—the foremost of chariot-fighters—are still alive, this should not be happening.’
