Translation

Vaishampayana said: Enraged beyond measure, Arjuna countered that shower with his arrows and shattered it. Seeing his stony downpour rendered futile, Indra—lord of the gods and performer of a hundred sacrifices—again unleashed an even heavier rain of stones. The episode underscores steadfast resolve and disciplined prowess meeting divine force without surrendering to fear or confusion.
