the five sons of Draupadi with seventy and Yuyudhana with five, and Bhimasena with four and sixty, and Sahadeva with five, and Nakula with thirty, and Satanika with seven arrows, and Shikhandi with ten, and king Yudhishthira with a hundred.  These and many other foremost of heroes, O king, all inspired with desire of victory that great bowman, viz., the son of Karna, O monarch, continued to afflict with his shafts.  Then, in that battle, the invincible Vrishasena continued to protect the rear of Karna.  The grandson of Sini, having made Duhshasana driverless and steedless and carless by means of nine times nine arrows made wholly of iron, struck Duhshasana with ten shafts in the forehead.  The Kuru prince then, riding on another car that was duly equipped (with all necessary implements), once more began to fight with the Pandavas, from within the division of Karna.  Then Dhristadyumna pierced Karna with ten arrows, and the sons of Draupadi pierced him with three and seventy, and Yuyudhana with seven.  And Bhimasena pierced him with four and sixty arrows, and Sahadeva with seven.  And Nakula pierced him with thirty arrows, and Satanika with seven.  And the heroic Shikhandi pierced him with ten and king Yudhishthira with a hundred.  These and other foremost of men, O monarch, all inspired with desire of victory, began to grind that great bowman, viz., the Suta’s son, in that dreadful battle.  That chastiser of foes, viz., the Suta’s son of great heroism, performing quick evolutions with his car, pierced every one of those warriors with ten arrows.  We then, O king, witnessed the lightness of hand displayed by the high-souled Karna and the power of his weapons.  Indeed, what we saw appeared to be highly wonderful.  People could not notice when he took up his arrows, when he aimed them, and when he let them off.  They only beheld his enemies dying fast in consequence of his wrath.  The sky, the firmament, the Earth, and all the quarters seemed to be entirely shrouded with sharp arrows.  The firmament looked resplendent as if covered with red clouds.  The valiant son of Radha, armed with the bow, and as if dancing (on his car), pierced each of his assailants with thrice as many arrows as each of them had pierced him with.  And once more piercing each of them, and his steeds, driver, car, and standard with ten arrows, he uttered a loud roar.  His assailants then gave him a way (through which he passed out).  Having crushed those mighty bowmen with showers of arrows, the son of Radha, that crusher of foes, then penetrated, unresisted, into the midst of the division commanded by the Pandava king.  Having destroyed thirty cars of the unreturning Cedis, the son of Radha struck Yudhishthira with many sharp arrows.  Then many Pandava warriors, O king, with Shikhandi and Satyaki, desirous of rescuing the king from the son of Radha, surrounded the former.  Similarly all the brave and mighty bowmen of thy army resolutely protected the irresistible Karna in that battle.  The noise of diverse musical instrument arose then, O king, and the leonine shouts of brave warriors rent the sky.  And the Kurus and the Pandavas once more fearlessly encountered each other, the former headed by the Suta’s son and the latter by Yudhishthira.’”
