तेषां द्विपानां निचकर्त पार्थी वर्माणि चर्माणि करान् नियन्तृन् । ध्वजान् पताकांश्व ततः प्रपेतु- वजाहतानीव गिरे: शिरांसि,कुन्तीकुमार अर्जुनने उनके हाथियोंके कवच, चर्म, सूँड़, महावत, ध्वजा और पताका --सबको काट डाला। इससे वे वज्रके मारे हुए पर्वतीय शिखरोंके समान पृथ्वीपर गिर पड़े

Translation
Sañjaya berkata: Pārtha (Arjuna) menebas baju zirah dan kulit gajah-gajah itu, belalai serta para pawangnya, juga memotong panji dan bendera mereka dengan anak panah tajam. Maka mereka roboh ke bumi laksana puncak gunung yang dihantam halilintar.
