Krishna then said to AHABHARATA
 
Krishna then said to A
rjuna : " 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 पार्थं क्षिप्रमेवाहरत्प्रभाम् ।

वीक्षमाणे ततस्तस्मिन् सिन्धुराजे दिवाकरम् ।

शरं तूणीशयं घोरमिन्द्राशनिसमप्रभम् ।

विससर्ज ततस्तूर्णं 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 स्सैन्धवस्याहरच्छिरः ॥
 

That arrow shot from the Gandiva took

off the head of Jayadratha.
 

 
रक्षसां घोररूपाणामक्षौहिण्या समावृतः ।

तवो घटोत्कचः क्रुद्धश्चोदयायास तां चमूम् ॥
