असप्प्राप्तांश्व तान् भीम: सायकैर्नतपर्वभि: । चिच्छेद बहुधा राजन् दर्शयन् पाणिलाघवम्,राजन! फिर महाधनुर्धर कर्णने चार बाण चलाये। परंतु भीमसेनने अपने हाथकी फुर्ती दिखाते हुए झुकी हुई गाँठवाले अनेक बाणोंद्वारा अपने पास आनेके पहले ही कर्णके बाणोंके टुकड़े-टुकड़े कर दिये
Transliteration
asaṃprāptāṃś ca tān bhīmaḥ sāyakair nataparvabhiḥ | ciccheda bahudhā rājan darśayan pāṇilāghavam ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: O King, before Karṇa’s arrows could even reach him, Bhīma—displaying swift mastery of hand and weapon—shattered those shafts again and again with his own arrows whose joints were bent, nullifying the attack in mid-flight.
