सत्यव्रतं तु समरे पुरुमित्रं च भारत । अभिमन्युरविध्यत्तौ दशभिर्दशभिः शरैः॥६-५८-२६॥

Then, O Bhārata, Abhimanyu in the engagement struck Satyavrata and Purumitra—each with ten arrows.

english translation

माद्रीपुत्रौ तु समरे मातुलं मातृनन्दनौ । छादयेतां शरव्रातैस्तदद्भुतमिवाभवत्॥६-५८-२७॥

The two sons of Mādrī, in the engagement, covered their maternal uncle with volleys of arrows; it appeared extraordinary.

english translation

ततः शल्यो महाराज स्वस्रीयौ रथिनां वरौ । शरैर्बहुभिरानर्छत्कृतप्रतिकृतैषिणौ । छाद्यमानौ ततस्तौ तु माद्रीपुत्रौ न चेलतुः॥६-५८-२८॥

Then Śalya, O great king, assailed his sister’s sons—excellent chariot-warriors—with many arrows, seeking retaliation for what had been done. Though covered by volleys, the sons of Mādrī did not waver.

english translation

अथ दुर्योधनं दृष्ट्वा भीमसेनो महाबलः । विधित्सुः कलहस्यान्तं गदां जग्राह पाण्डवः॥६-५८-२९॥

Then, seeing Duryodhana, the mighty Bhīmasena—the Pāṇḍava—intending to bring the clash to its end, took up his mace.

english translation

तमुद्यतगदं दृष्ट्वा कैलासमिव शृङ्गिणम् । भीमसेनं महाबाहुं पुत्रास्ते प्राद्रवन्भयात्॥६-५८-३०॥

Seeing mighty-armed Bhīmasena with his mace raised, towering like Mount Kailāsa with its peaks, those warriors fled in fear.
