Virāṭa-parva Adhyāya 54 — Missile-Exchange and Tactical Redirection
Arjuna, Aśvatthāman, Karṇa
नरर्षभास्तेन नरर्षभेण वीरा रणे वीरतरेण भग्ना: । चकम्पिरे वातवशेन काले प्रकम्पितानीव महावनानि,नरश्रेष्ठ वीरवर धनंजयके बाणोंकी मार खाकर कौरवसेनाके कितने ही श्रेष्ठ वीर घायल हो इस प्रकार काँपने लगे, जैसे समयानुसार प्रचण्ड आँधीके वेगसे बड़े-बड़े जंगलोंके वृक्ष हिलने लगते हैं
nararṣabhāstena nararṣabheṇa vīrā raṇe vīratareṇa bhagnāḥ | cakampire vātavaśena kāle prakampitānīva mahāvanāni ||
Vaiśampāyana said: Struck in battle by Dhanañjaya—the bull among men, most heroic of warriors—many valiant champions of the Kaurava host, though not yet slain, were shattered and began to tremble. They quivered like great forests whose trees sway and shudder when, in its season, a fierce wind drives through them.
