त एनं संपरिष्वज्य शनैराश्वासयंस्तदा । पाणिभिर्जलशीतैश्च जयाशीर्भिश्च कौरव॥५-१८१-२६॥
Embracing him, they gradually comforted him then—cooling him with hands moistened by water and offering benedictions for victory, O Kaurava.
english translation
ततः स विह्वलो वाक्यं राम उत्थाय माब्रवीत् । तिष्ठ भीष्म हतोऽसीति बाणं संधाय कार्मुके॥५-१८१-२७॥
Then Rāma, still unsteady, rose and spoke to me: “Stand, Bhīṣma—you are finished,” and he set an arrow upon his bow.
english translation
स मुक्तो न्यपतत्तूर्णं पार्श्वे सव्ये महाहवे । येनाहं भृशसंविग्नो व्याघूर्णित इव द्रुमः॥५-१८१-२८॥
Released, that arrow swiftly struck my left side in the great engagement; by it I was violently shaken, like a tree whirled by a fierce gust.
english translation
हत्वा हयांस्ततो राजञ्शीघ्रास्त्रेण महाहवे । अवाकिरन्मां विश्रब्धो बाणैस्तैर्लोमवाहिभिः॥५-१८१-२९॥
After striking down the horses with a swift weapon in that great engagement, he, composed and unshaken, covered me with those arrows whose force made the hair stand on end.
english translation
ततोऽहमपि शीघ्रास्त्रं समरेऽप्रतिवारणम् । अवासृजं महाबाहो तेऽन्तराधिष्ठिताः शराः । रामस्य मम चैवाशु व्योमावृत्य समन्ततः॥५-१८१-३०॥
Then I too, in the battle, released a swift weapon, hard to counter. O mighty-armed one, those arrows took their station in the space between, and quickly filled the sky on every side between Rāma and me.
