वज्रदत्तेन सह अर्जुनयुद्धम्

Arjuna’s engagement with Vajradatta during the Aśvamedha circuit

स तैर्विद्धो महातेजा वज्दत्तो महामृधे । भृशाहत: पपातोर्व्या न त्वेममजहात्‌ स्मृति:,तब कुपित हुए अर्जुनने तुरंत ही सोनेके पंखोंसे युक्त सीधे जानेवाले बाण वज्रदत्तपर चलाये। उन बाणोंसे अत्यन्त आहत और घायल होकर उस महासमरमें महातेजस्वी वज्रदत्त हाथीकी पीठसे पृथ्वीपर गिर पड़ा; परंतु इतनेपर भी वह बेहोश नहीं हुआ

sa tair viddho mahātejā vajradatto mahāmṛdhe | bhṛśāhataḥ papātorvyā na tv enam ajahāt smṛtiḥ ||

Vaiśampāyana said: Struck by those arrows in the great battle, the radiant Vajradatta—though grievously wounded—fell from his mount to the earth. Yet even then his presence of mind did not abandon him; he did not lose consciousness, holding fast to awareness amid the shock of war.
