Translation

Sanjaya said: Having slain the charioteer with three arrows, Karna’s son let out a loud roar. In the heat of battle he swiftly struck down the opponent’s four horses with four arrows, cut the banner with five, and with three more took the charioteer’s life; thereafter, Karna’s son roared again like a lion.
