Mahabharata 3.21.7
न तस्योरसि नो मूर्थ्नि न काये न भुजद्धये । अन्तरं पाण्डवश्रेष्ठ पश्याम्यनिचितं शरै:
na tasyorasi no mūrdhni na kāye na bhujadvaye | antaraṃ pāṇḍavaśreṣṭha paśyāmyanicitaṃ śaraiḥ ||
Vāyu said: “O best of the Pāṇḍavas, I see no space—on his chest, on his head, on his body, or on either arm—that is not pierced by arrows. Like a mountain rich in red minerals that, when drenched by rainclouds, begins to pour forth crimson streams, so he—his limbs riddled with shafts—was letting loose a dreadful torrent of blood.”
