ततः शरसहस्रेण संनिवार्य महारथान् । हयान्काञ्चनसंनाहान्भीमस्य न्यहनच्छरैः॥६-५०-१०१॥

Then, with a thousand arrows, he checked the great chariot-warriors, and with arrows he brought down Bhīma’s horses, fitted with golden harness.

english translation

हताश्वे तु रथे तिष्ठन्भीमसेनः प्रतापवान् । शक्तिं चिक्षेप तरसा गाङ्गेयस्य रथं प्रति॥६-५०-१०२॥

Standing upon his chariot after its horses had been disabled, the powerful Bhīmasena swiftly hurled a spear toward Gāṅgeya’s chariot.

english translation

अप्राप्तामेव तां शक्तिं पिता देवव्रतस्तव । त्रिधा चिच्छेद समरे सा पृथिव्यामशीर्यत॥६-५०-१०३॥

Before that spear-weapon could reach him, your father Devavrata (Bhīṣma) cut it into three parts in the engagement; it then fell and scattered upon the ground.

english translation

ततः शैक्यायसीं गुर्वीं प्रगृह्य बलवद्गदाम् । भीमसेनो रथात्तूर्णं पुप्लुवे मनुजर्षभ॥६-५०-१०४॥

Then Bhīmasena, taking up a heavy iron mace, swiftly leapt down from his chariot, O best of men.

english translation

सात्यकोऽपि ततस्तूर्णं भीमस्य प्रियकाम्यया । सारथिं कुरुवृद्धस्य पातयामास सायकैः॥६-५०-१०५॥

Sātyaki too, acting swiftly and wishing to support Bhīma, brought down the charioteer of the aged Kuru (Bhīṣma) with arrows.
