Bhūriśravas–Sātyaki Saṃvāda and Duel; Arjuna’s Intervention (भूरिश्रवाः–सात्यकि संवादः, युद्धम्, अर्जुन-हस्तक्षेपः)
Devanagari script
शरैरग्न्यर्कसंकाशै: प्रदुद्राव समन्तत: । उनमेंसे कुछ हाथी चक्कर काटने लगे, कुछ लड़खड़ाने लगे, कुछ धराशायी हो गये और कुछ पीड़ाके मारे अत्यन्त शिथिल हो गये थे। इस प्रकार युयुधानके अग्नि और सूर्यके समान तेजस्वी बाणोंद्वारा पीड़ित हुई हाथियोंकी वह सेना सब ओर भाग गयी
Translation
Struck by arrows blazing like fire and the sun, the elephants fled in every direction. Some wheeled about in confusion, some staggered, some fell to the ground, and some, wracked with pain, grew utterly faint. Thus the elephant host, tormented by Yuyudhāna’s radiant shafts, scattered and ran on all sides.
