Translation
Sañjaya said: Drauṇi (Aśvatthāman) fixed his gaze upon Bhīma, who from close range was shooting volleys of arrows. Aśvatthāman shone like the sun at midday in the autumn season, blazing with fierce rays—an image that underscores the terrifying brilliance of martial prowess when dharma is contested on the battlefield.
