Daiva–Puruṣakāra Discourse and the Elephant-Corps Engagement (भीमगजानीक-सम्भ्रान्ति)
Devanagari script
परिवार्य रणे भीष्मं॑ भीमसेनमुपाद्रवत् । दूसरे बहुत-से योद्धा इन्हें देखते ही भयके मारे निष्प्राण हो गये। इस प्रकार मारी जानेपर भी वेगशाली कलिंग वीरोंकी उस विशाल वाहिनीने रणक्षेत्रमें भीष्मकी रक्षाके लिये उन्हें चारों ओरसे घेरकर पुनः: भीमसेनपर धावा किया
Translation
Sañjaya said: Circling Bhīṣma in the battle, Bhīmasena rushed in to strike. Many other warriors, at the very sight of them, were drained of life by fear. Yet though they were being cut down, the great host of swift Kalinga heroes closed ranks all around to protect Bhīṣma, and once more charged at Bhīmasena.
