Transliteration
sa kosalānām adhipaṃ rājaputra bṛhaddhalam | hṛdi vivyādha bāṇena sa bhinnahṛdayo 'patat ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: Abhimanyu pierced Bṛhaddhala, the royal prince and lord of the Kośalas, straight in the heart with an arrow. His chest was torn open; his heart shattered, he fell to the ground—showing how, in the fury of war, even the high-born are brought down in an instant by decisive skill and fate.
