रथं चान्यं समास्थाय विधिवत् कल्पितं पुनः । अभ्ययात् पाण्डवं युद्धे त्वरमाण: पराक्रमी,फिर उस पराक्रमी वीरने विधिपूर्वक सजाये हुए दूसरे रथपर बैठकर युद्धमें शीघ्रतापूर्वक पाण्डुपुत्र भीमसेनपर धावा किया
sañjaya uvāca | rathaṃ cānyaṃ samāsthāya vidhivat kalpitaṃ punaḥ | abhyayāt pāṇḍavaṃ yuddhe tvaramāṇaḥ parākramī ||
ನಂತರ ಆ ಪರಾಕ್ರಮಶಾಲಿ ವೀರನು ವಿಧಿಪೂರ್ವಕವಾಗಿ ಮತ್ತೆ ಸಿದ್ಧಪಡಿಸಿದ ಮತ್ತೊಂದು ರಥವನ್ನು ಏರಿ, ಯುದ್ಧದಲ್ಲಿ ತ್ವರೆಯಿಂದ ಪಾಂಡವ ಭೀಮಸೇನನ ಮೇಲೆ ಧಾವಿಸಿದನು.
