माद्रीपुत्रो शतेनाजी विव्याथ निशितै: शरै: । फिर सात्यकिको पचीस, भीमसेनको पाँच तथा माद्रीके पुत्रोंकी सौ तीखे बाणोंसे रणभूमिमें घायल कर दिया ।। एवं विचरतस्तस्य संग्रामे राजसत्तम

mādrīputro śatenājī vivyātha niśitaiḥ śaraiḥ | evaṃ vicaratas tasya saṃgrāme rājasattama ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: The son of Mādrī struck him in battle with a hundred keen arrows, grievously wounding him on the field. Thus, as that foremost of kings moved about in the thick of combat, the clash of arms continued—each warrior pressing his duty as he understood it amid the ruthless demands of war.
