ततः प्रहस्याद्भुतदर्शनेन गाण्डीवनिर्ह्रादमहास्वनेन । विपाठजालेन महास्त्रजालं विनाशयामास किरीटमाली॥६-५६-२६॥

Then Kirīṭamālī (Arjuna), smiling with wondrous bearing, and with the great reverberating roar of the Gāṇḍīva, destroyed the massed array of major weapons by means of a counter-network of specialized missiles.

english translation

तमुत्तमं सर्वधनुर्धराणामसक्तकर्मा कपिराजकेतुः । भीष्मं महात्माभिववर्ष तूर्णं शरौघजालैर्विमलैश्च भल्लैः॥६-५६-२७॥

Against Bhīṣma—foremost among all bowmen—the great-souled Arjuna, unceasing in action and bearing the monkey-banner, swiftly showered dense volleys of arrows, including clear-edged bhalla shafts.

english translation

एवंविधं कार्मुकभीमनादमदीनवत्सत्पुरुषोत्तमाभ्याम् । ददर्श लोकः कुरुसृञ्जयाश्च तद्द्वैरथं भीष्मधनंजयाभ्याम्॥६-५६-२८॥

Thus, amid the dreadful thunder of bows and the unwavering resolve of two foremost men, the world—together with the Kurus and the Sṛñjayas—beheld that chariot-duel between Bhīṣma and Dhanaṃjaya.
