THE MAHABHARATA
Krishna then said to Arjuna : " I shall
create a means to hide the sun; Jayadratha
will then take the sun as having set ;
and then he will not be able to
protect himself, on account of the joy; at
that very time, Arjuna, you must strike. "
एवमुक्त्वा ततः पार्थ क्षिप्रमेवाहरत्प्रभाम् ।
वीक्षमाणे ततस्तस्मिन् सिन्धुराजे दिवाकरम् ।
शरं तूणीशयं घोरमिन्द्राशनिसमप्रभम् ।
विससर्ज ततस्तूर्ण सैन्धवस्य रथं प्रति ॥
Having told Arjuna thus, Krishna quickly
removed the daylight. At that time, when
Jayadratha looked up for the sun, Arjuna
quickly shot in the direction of his
chariot a terrible arrow which resembled
Indra's thunderbolt and was lying in his
quiver.
स तु गाण्डीवनिर्मुक्त सैन्धवस्याहरच्छिरः ॥
That arrow shot from the Gandiva took
off the head of Jayadratha.
रक्षसां घोररूपाणामक्षौहिण्या समावृतः ।
तवो घटोत्कचः क्रुद्धचोदयायास तां चमूम् ॥
