ततो दुर्योधनो राजा प्रहारवरमोहितः । निषसाद रथोपस्थे कश्मलं च जगाम ह॥६-५४-१६॥

Then King Duryodhana, disoriented by the force of the blow, sat down on the chariot-platform and fell into distress and confusion.

तं विसंज्ञमथो ज्ञात्वा त्वरमाणोऽस्य सारथिः । अपोवाह रणाद्राजंस्ततः सैन्यमभिद्यत॥६-५४-१७॥

Recognizing him to be insensible, his charioteer hurriedly carried the king away from the engagement; thereafter he rejoined the host.

ततस्तां कौरवीं सेनां द्रवमाणां समन्ततः । निघ्नन्भीमः शरैस्तीक्ष्णैरनुवव्राज पृष्ठतः॥६-५४-१८॥

Then, as the Kaurava forces retreated on all sides, Bhīma followed from behind, dealing further losses with keen arrows.

पार्षतश्च रथश्रेष्ठो धर्मपुत्रश्च पाण्डवः । द्रोणस्य पश्यतः सैन्यं गाङ्गेयस्य च पश्यतः । जघ्नतुर्विशिखैस्तीक्ष्णैः परानीकविशातनैः॥६-५४-१९॥

Dṛṣṭadyumna, foremost among chariot-warriors, and Dharmaputra Yudhiṣṭhira the Pāṇḍava, before the eyes of Droṇa and of Bhīṣma, son of the Gaṅgā, struck down the opposing formations with sharp, well-aimed arrows that shattered the enemy ranks.

द्रवमाणं तु तत्सैन्यं तव पुत्रस्य संयुगे । नाशक्नुतां वारयितुं भीष्मद्रोणौ महारथौ॥६-५४-२०॥

But your son’s army, in the press of battle, began to break and fall back; even the great mahārathas Bhīṣma and Droṇa could not restrain it.
