Adhyāya 40 (Book 7, Droṇa-parva): Abhimanyu’s Rapid Advance and Battlefield Disruption
Devanagari script
जगाम सह पुड्खेन वल्मीकमिव पन्नग: । अथैनं पज्चविंशत्या पुनरेव समार्पयत्,वह बाण तुरंत ही उसके वक्ष:स्थलपर पहुँचकर उसके गलेकी हँसलीको विदीर्ण करता हुआ पंखसहित भीतर घुस गया, मानो कोई सर्प बाँबीमें समा गया हो। तत्पश्चात् अभिमन्युने दुःशासनको पचीस बाण और मारे
Translation
That arrow at once reached his chest, split the bone at his throat, and, with its feathers, sank within—like a serpent slipping into an anthill. Then Abhimanyu struck Duḥśāsana again with twenty-five more arrows.
