BHISHMA PARVA
 
303
 
अथ शान्तनवो [राजन्] अभ्यधावद्धनञ्जयम् ।

अर्जुनोऽपि धनुर्गृह्य गाङ्गेयं रणमूर्धनि ।

मावर्तत ततो युद्धं तुमुलं रोमहर्षणम् ॥
 

Then, Bhishma attacked Arjuna, and

Arjuna taking his bow, attacked Bhishma

on the battle-front. Then began a thick
 

battle that made one's hair stand on

end.
 

 
तत्र भीष्मश्शान्तनवो दर्शयन्पाणिलाघम् ।

अलातचक्रवद [राजन् ] तत्र तत्र स्म दृश्यते ॥
 

Exhibiting his hands' ease (in shooting

arrows), Bhishma was seen there (in the

army) everywhere like a whirling fire-brand.
 

 
अदर्शयद्वासुदेवो हययाने परं बलम् ।

मोघान् कुर्वन् शरांस्तस्य मण्डलान्व्यचरँल्लघु ॥
 

Krishna showed great skill in (directing) the

movement of the horses; rendering Bhishma's

arrows futile, he made swift circuits (with

the chariot).
 

 
तथा भीष्मस्तु सुदृढं वासुदेवधनञ्जयौ ।

विव्याध निशितैर्बाणैस्सर्वगात्रेषु [भारत] ॥
