Sañjaya berkata: Kemudian dia memanah Sātyaki dengan tiga anak panah, Vṛkodara (Bhīma) dengan lapan, Dhṛṣṭadyumna dengan enam puluh, dan Virāṭa dengan sepuluh. Dengan hujan peluru yang terhitung itu, dia merampas kembali kawalan barisan tempur pada titik yang dahulu dipecahkan Abhimanyu, menjadikan rekahan itu medan hadapan yang sengit diperebutkan.
