Sanjaya said: "In the same way, with countless horses and with weapons of many kinds, they showered missiles. O King, then Shakuni, surrounding Arjuna on all sides with many thousands of chariots, thousands of elephants, and thousands of horses, began a fierce rain of diverse weapons against him. Thus they hurled every great weapon toward Arjuna."
