Sañjaya said: Abhimanyu, whirling on every side like a blazing firebrand spun in a circle, showered arrows upon princes of many lands, upon royal sons, and upon their various divisions of troops. He struck even the foremost Kaurava champions—Drona, Karna, Kripa, Shalya, Ashvatthama, Kritavarma of the Bhoja line, Brihadbala, Duryodhana, Bhurishravas, the mighty Shakuni—along with many other kings and princes and their assorted forces.
