THE MAHABHARATA
एकधा शतधा [राजन् ] दृश्यते स्म सहस्रधा ॥
Doing the impossible act of breaking
Drona's circle-array, killing warriors by
thousands, verily seeming to dance, looking
like the god of death with his noose,
consuming his enemies rapidly like fire let
loose on a dry forest, Abhimanyu appeared
(on the battle-field) single, hundredfold, and
thousandfold.
तं तु द्रोणः कृपः कर्णो द्रौणिश्च सबृहद्
कृतवर्मा च हार्दिक्य: षड्रथाः पर्यवारयन् ॥
And that Abhimanyu, six chariots sur-
rounded, (those of ) Drona, Kripa, Karna,
Asvatthaman, Brihadbala, and Kritavarman,
son of Hridika.
तं सौबलस्त्रिभिर्विद्
'सर्व एनं विमथ्नीमः पुरैकैकं हिनस्ति नः ॥
Hitting Abhimanyu with three shafts,
Sakuni then said to Duryodhana : "Ere
he kills us one by one, all of us will kill
this Abhimanyu."
