With its shoulder severed, the leader of the elephant troop fell, crying out—like a mountain whose ridges are shattered by the force of a river’s current.

He overpowered groups of horses, elephants, and chariot-divisions, and also the masses of infantry, striking them down; covered with blood, Bhīma moved through the engagement like a hawk, formidable to the opposing force.
