शङ्खदुन्दुभिनिर्घोषान्भेरीपणवमिश्रितान् । रथाश्वगजनादांश्च शस्त्रशब्दांश्च दारुणान् ॥
प्रविश्य तद्बलं कृष्णस्तुरगैर्वातवेगिभिः । पाण्ड्येनाभ्यर्दितां सेनां त्वदीयां वीक्ष्य धिष्ठितः ॥
English Translation
Having entered that army with horses swift as the wind and also having seen your force crushed down by the chief of the Pandayas, Krishna became highly astonished,
स हि नानाविधैर्बाणैरिष्वासप्रवरो युधि । न्यहनद्द्विषतां व्रातान्गतासूनन्तको यथा ॥
English Translation
That foremost of heroes, who was skilled in the management of arrows and weapons in battle, slaughtered large throngs of enemies with different kinds of shafts, even as Yama (Death) destroys the creatures, deprived of their lives.
गजवाजिमनुष्याणां शरीराणि शितैः शरैः । भित्त्वा प्रहरतां श्रेष्ठो विदेहासूंश्चकार सः ॥
English Translation
That foremost of smiters, after having penetrated the bodies of the elephants, horses and soldiers, with keen arrows, had struck down the foes, who were deprived of both their bodies and lives.
शत्रुप्रवीरैरस्तानि नानाशस्त्राणि सायकैः । भित्त्वा तानहनत्पाण्ड्यः शत्रूञ्शक्र इवासुरान् ॥
English Translation
Then the chief of the Pandavas after having cut-off the innumerable offensive weapons shot by the most dreadful of his enemies with his own arrows had slaughtered those enemies, even as Shakra had slain the Asuras (in the battle of old).
