Sañjaya said: Dhṛṣṭaketu, having cut down those many kinds of arrows shot by Kṛpa, then pierced Kṛpa with seventy shafts; and with three more arrows he struck down Kṛpa’s distinguishing emblem—his banner—thus publicly marking his momentary loss of advantage in the battle’s contest of skill and resolve.
