रथैरनेकसाहस्रैः क्रोधामर्षसमन्वितः । नन्दकस्तव पुत्रस्तु भीमसेनं महाबलम् । विव्याध निशितैः षड्भिः कङ्कपत्रैः शिलाशितैः॥६-६०-६॥

Amid many thousands of chariots, your son Nandaka—filled with anger and resentment—struck the mighty Bhīmasena with six sharp arrows, feathered with heron-plumes and honed upon stone.

english translation

दुर्योधनस्तु समरे भीमसेनं महाबलम् । आजघानोरसि क्रुद्धो मार्गणैर्निशितैस्त्रिभिः॥६-६०-७॥

Then Duryodhana, provoked in the engagement, struck the powerful Bhīmasena on the chest with three sharp arrows.

english translation

ततो भीमो महाबाहुः स्वरथं सुमहाबलः । आरुरोह रथश्रेष्ठं विशोकं चेदमब्रवीत्॥६-६०-८॥

Then Bhīma, mighty-armed and of great strength, mounted his own excellent chariot and spoke these words to Viśoka.

english translation

एते महारथाः शूरा धार्तराष्ट्रा महाबलाः । मामेव भृशसंक्रुद्धा हन्तुमभ्युद्यता युधि॥६-६०-९॥

These heroic great chariot-warriors—the Dhārtarāṣṭras of mighty strength—burning with fierce wrath, have advanced in battle with the fixed intent to strike down me alone.

english translation

एतानद्य हनिष्यामि पश्यतस्ते न संशयः । तस्मान्ममाश्वान्संग्रामे यत्तः संयच्छ सारथे॥६-६०-१०॥

Today I shall strike them down before your very eyes—of this there is no doubt. Therefore, O charioteer, with full attention restrain and guide my horses in the fray.
