Then the son of Sāṃyamani struck the Pāñcāla warrior—intoxicated with the ardor of combat—with thirty arrows, and his charioteer with ten as well.

Though heavily struck, that great archer, licking the corners of his mouth, severed his opponent’s bow with a very sharp bhalla arrow.

Then he swiftly struck him with twenty-five arrows; and he also brought down his horses—both the charioteer and the rear-guard driver, O King.

Standing in a chariot whose horses had been brought down, the son of Sāṃyamani saw the son of the great-souled Pāñcāla, O bull among the Bharatas.
