एवमुक्तास्ततः सर्वे धार्तराष्ट्रस्य सैनिकाः । अभ्यद्रवन्त संक्रुद्धा भीमसेनं महाबलम्॥६-६०-३६॥
Thus addressed, all the soldiers of the Dhārtarāṣṭra host then advanced in anger against the mighty Bhīmasena.
english translation
भगदत्तः प्रभिन्नेन कुञ्जरेण विशां पते । अपतत्सहसा तत्र यत्र भीमो व्यवस्थितः॥६-६०-३७॥
Bhagadatta, with his rut-maddened elephant, suddenly charged to the place where Bhīma was positioned, O lord of the people.
english translation
आपतन्नेव च रणे भीमसेनं शिलाशितैः । अदृश्यं समरे चक्रे जीमूत इव भास्करम्॥६-६०-३८॥
As he charged into the engagement, he made Bhīmasena hard to discern in battle by means of stone-tipped projectiles—like a cloud obscuring the sun.
english translation
अभिमन्युमुखास्तत्र नामृष्यन्त महारथाः । भीमस्याच्छादनं संख्ये स्वबाहुबलमाश्रिताः॥६-६०-३९॥
There, the great chariot-warriors, with Abhimanyu at their forefront, would not endure Bhīma’s protective covering in the fray; relying on the strength of their own arms, they moved to counter it.
english translation
त एनं शरवर्षेण समन्तात्पर्यवारयन् । गजं च शरवृष्ट्या तं बिभिदुस्ते समन्ततः॥६-६०-४०॥
They surrounded him on all sides with a dense discharge of arrows; and with that same arrow-barrage they also struck and pierced the elephant from every direction.
