स तस्य शरवर्षाणि ववर्ष रथिनां वर: | तथा संशप्तकाश्रैव पार्थ बाणै: समार्पयन्
sa tasya śaravarṣāṇi vavarṣa rathināṃ varaḥ | tathā saṃśaptakāś caiva pārtha-bāṇaiḥ samārpayan |
संजय बोले—श्रेष्ठ रथी सुशर्मा ने उस पर बाणों की वर्षा की; और उसी समय पार्थ भी अपने बाणों से संशप्तकों को निरन्तर आहत करता रहा।
