एवमुक्त्वा ततः पार्थः पुत्रं दुर्योधनं तव । विव्याध दशभिस्तीक्ष्णैः शरैः कनकभूषणैः । नन्दकं च त्रिभिर्बाणैः प्रत्यविध्यत्स्तनान्तरे॥६-६०-११॥

Having spoken thus, Pārtha struck your son Duryodhana with ten keen arrows adorned with gold; and he pierced Nandaka with three shafts in the region of the chest.

तं तु दुर्योधनः षष्ट्या विद्ध्वा भीमं महाबलम् । त्रिभिरन्यैः सुनिशितैर्विशोकं प्रत्यविध्यत॥६-६०-१२॥

Duryodhana, having struck the mighty Bhīma with sixty arrows, then counter-struck Viśoka with three other exceedingly sharp shafts.

english translation

भीमस्य च रणे राजन्धनुश्चिच्छेद भास्वरम् । मुष्टिदेशे शरैस्तीक्ष्णैस्त्रिभी राजा हसन्निव॥६-६०-१३॥

And in the engagement, O King, he severed Bhīma’s shining bow at the grip with three sharp arrows, as though with a smile.

भीमस्तु प्रेक्ष्य यन्तारं विशोकं संयुगे तदा । पीडितं विशिखैस्तीक्ष्णैस्तव पुत्रेण धन्विना॥६-६०-१४॥

Then Bhīma, seeing in the press of battle the charioteer Viśoka—untroubled, yet sorely harried by the keen arrows of your son, that archer—

english translation

अमृष्यमाणः संक्रुद्धो धनुर्दिव्यं परामृशत् । पुत्रस्य ते महाराज वधार्थं भरतर्षभ॥६-६०-१५॥

Unable to endure it and blazing with wrath, he seized a divine bow, O great king, intent on the slaying of your son, O bull among the Bharatas.
