कलिङ्गस्तु ततः क्रुद्धो धनुर्ज्यामवमृज्य ह । प्रगृह्य च शरं घोरमेकं सर्पविषोपमम् । प्राहिणोद्भीमसेनाय वधाकाङ्क्षी जनेश्वरः॥६-५०-२६॥
Then the Kaliṅga king, angered, wiped the bowstring and, taking up a single formidable arrow—likened to serpent-venom—discharged it at Bhīmasena, desiring his death.
english translation
तमापतन्तं वेगेन प्रेरितं निशितं शरम् । भीमसेनो द्विधा राजंश्चिच्छेद विपुलासिना । उदक्रोशच्च संहृष्टस्त्रासयानो वरूथिनीम्॥६-५०-२७॥
That sharp arrow, driven with speed as it descended, Bhīmasena split in two, O King, with a broad sword; and, exhilarated, he shouted aloud, unsettling the surrounding troops.
english translation
कलिङ्गस्तु ततः क्रुद्धो भीमसेनाय संयुगे । तोमरान्प्राहिणोच्छीघ्रं चतुर्दश शिलाशितान्॥६-५०-२८॥
Then the king of Kaliṅga, wrathful, swiftly hurled fourteen iron-tipped javelins at Bhīmasena in the midst of battle.
english translation
तानप्राप्तान्महाबाहुः खगतानेव पाण्डवः । चिच्छेद सहसा राजन्नसंभ्रान्तो वरासिना॥६-५०-२९॥
Before they could reach him, the mighty-armed Pāṇḍava cut them down at once, O King, unperturbed, with an excellent sword—like birds in flight.

निकृत्य तु रणे भीमस्तोमरान्वै चतुर्दश । भानुमन्तमभिप्रेक्ष्य प्राद्रवत्पुरुषर्षभः॥६-५०-३०॥
Having neutralized the fourteen javelins in the engagement, Bhīma—best of men—fixing his gaze on Bhānumat, rushed forward.
