Devanagari script
पुनर्विव्याध सप्तत्या ननाद च महाबल: । तत्पश्चात् नकुलने चौंसठ और द्रौपदीकुमारोंने तीन-तीन बाणोंसे अलम्बुषको बींध डाला। तदनन्तर महाबली हिडिम्बाकुमारने युद्धस्थलमें उस राक्षसको पचास बाणोंसे घायल करके पुनः सत्तर बाणोंद्वारा बींध डाला और बड़े जोरसे गर्जना की
Translation
Then Alambuṣa, mighty in strength, pierced again with seventy arrows and roared aloud. After that, Nakula transfixed him with sixty-four arrows, and Draupadī’s sons struck him with three arrows each. Thereupon Ghaṭotkaca, the powerful son of Hiḍimbā, wounded that rākṣasa on the battlefield with fifty arrows, then pierced him again with seventy more, and bellowed with great force.
