ततो धर्मसुतो राजा माद्रीपुत्रौ च पाण्डवौ । मिषतां सर्वसैन्यानां द्रोणानीकमुपाद्रवन्॥६-५४-११॥

Then the king, Dharma’s son, together with the two Pāṇḍavas born of Mādrī, advanced upon Droṇa’s division as all the armies looked on.

english translation

तत्रासीत्सुमहद्युद्धं तुमुलं लोमहर्षणम् । यथा देवासुरं युद्धं पूर्वमासीत्सुदारुणम्॥६-५४-१२॥

There arose a battle most great—tumultuous and hair-raising—like the ancient war of Devas and Asuras, exceedingly fierce.

english translation

कुर्वाणौ तु महत्कर्म भीमसेनघटोत्कचौ । दुर्योधनस्ततोऽभ्येत्य तावुभावभ्यवारयत्॥६-५४-१३॥

As Bhīmasena and Ghaṭotkaca were accomplishing a mighty feat, Duryodhana came forward and checked them both.

english translation

तत्राद्भुतमपश्याम हैडिम्बस्य पराक्रमम् । अतीत्य पितरं युद्धे यदयुध्यत भारत॥६-५४-१४॥

There we beheld the astonishing prowess of Haiḍimba (Ghaṭotkaca): in battle he fought in a way that surpassed even his father, O Bhārata.

english translation

भीमसेनस्तु संक्रुद्धो दुर्योधनममर्षणम् । हृद्यविध्यत्पृषत्केन प्रहसन्निव पाण्डवः॥६-५४-१५॥

Then Bhīmasena, inflamed with wrath, struck the unenduring Duryodhana in the chest with an arrow, as though the Pāṇḍava were smiling.
