तं कौरवाणामधिपो बलेन भीष्मेण भूरिश्रवसा च सार्धम् । अभ्युद्ययावुद्यतबाणपाणिः कक्षं दिधक्षन्निव धूमकेतुः॥६-५५-१०६॥
Then the lord of the Kauravas, with the mighty Bhīṣma and Bhūriśravas beside him, advanced toward him, arrows raised in hand—like a blazing meteor moving as if to set a thicket aflame.
english translation
अथार्जुनाय प्रजहार भल्लान्भूरिश्रवाः सप्त सुवर्णपुङ्खान् । दुर्योधनस्तोमरमुग्रवेगं शल्यो गदां शांतनवश्च शक्तिम्॥६-५५-१०७॥
Then Bhūriśravas struck toward Arjuna with seven bhalla-arrows fitted with golden feathers. Duryodhana hurled a javelin of dreadful force; Śalya cast a mace; and the son of Śāṃtanu launched a spear.
english translation
स सप्तभिः सप्त शरप्रवेकान्संवार्य भूरिश्रवसा विसृष्टान् । शितेन दुर्योधनबाहुमुक्तं क्षुरेण तत्तोमरमुन्ममाथ॥६-५५-१०८॥
He checked the seven superb arrows released by Bhūriśravas with seven of his own. Then, with a sharp razor-headed shaft, he cut down the javelin hurled from Duryodhana’s arm.

ततः शुभामापततीं स शक्तिं विद्युत्प्रभां शांतनवेन मुक्ताम् । गदां च मद्राधिपबाहुमुक्तां द्वाभ्यां शराभ्यां निचकर्त वीरः॥६-५५-१०९॥
Next the warrior, with two arrows, severed the auspicious spear—radiant like lightning—launched by the son of Śāṃtanu; and likewise the mace released from the arm of the ruler of Madra.

ततो भुजाभ्यां बलवद्विकृष्य चित्रं धनुर्गाण्डिवमप्रमेयम् । माहेन्द्रमस्त्रं विधिवत्सुघोरं प्रादुश्चकाराद्भुतमन्तरिक्षे॥६-५५-११०॥
Then, drawing back with mighty arms the wondrous, immeasurable bow Gāṇḍīva, he duly manifested in the open sky the formidable Māhendra weapon—an extraordinary marvel in the air.
