लज्जयावनते चापि परिहृष्टे च तावके । द्वीपो य आसीत्पाण्डूनामगाधे गाधमिच्छताम् ॥

lajjayāvanate cāpi parihṛṣṭe ca tāvake | dvīpo ya āsītpāṇḍūnāmagādhe gādhamicchatām

while it hung its head in shame and your own men were jubilant, he who had been the Pandavas' island — a foothold for those seeking a foothold in fathomless water —

Verse 3 (7.115.3)

श्रुत्वा स निनदं भीमं तावकानां महाहवे । शैनेयस्त्वरितो राजन्कृतवर्माणमभ्ययात् ॥

śrutvā sa ninadaṃ bhīmaṃ tāvakānāṃ mahāhave | śaineyastvarito rājankṛtavarmāṇamabhyayāt

hearing the dreadful roar of your men in the great battle, Shaineya (Satyaki) hurried, O king, toward Kritavarman.

Verse 4 (7.115.4)

उवाच सारथिं तत्र क्रोधामर्षसमन्वितः । हार्दिक्याभिमुखं सूत कुरु मे रथमुत्तमम् ॥

uvāca sārathiṃ tatra krodhāmarṣasamanvitaḥ | hārdikyābhimukhaṃ sūta kuru me rathamuttamam

Filled with anger and indignation, he said to his charioteer there: "Turn my excellent chariot toward Hardikya, charioteer.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's main text; lines 1–2 are CE star passage 7.91.3d*0627_01–02 (placed after 7.91.3). The verse mixes narration (line 1) with the start of Satyaki's speech (line 2); it stays with the narrator.

Verse 5 (7.115.5)

कुरुते कदनं पश्य पाण्डुसैन्ये ह्यमर्षितः । एनं जित्वा पुनः सूत यास्यामि विजयं प्रति ॥

kurute kadanaṃ paśya pāṇḍusainye hyamarṣitaḥ | enaṃ jitvā punaḥ sūta yāsyāmi vijayaṃ prati

Look — enraged, he is working slaughter in the Pandava army. When I have conquered him, charioteer, I shall go on again toward victory."

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's main text; lines 1–2 are CE star passage 7.91.3d*0627_03–04. Speaker changed from सञ्जय to सात्यकि: the whole verse is his unheaded speech.

Verse 6 (7.115.6)

एवमुक्ते तु वचने सूतस्तस्य महामते । निमेषान्तरमात्रेण कृतवर्माणमभ्ययात् ॥

evamukte tu vacane sūtastasya mahāmate | nimeṣāntaramātreṇa kṛtavarmāṇamabhyayāt

When he had spoken, O wise king, his charioteer carried him to Kritavarman in the space of a wink.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's main text; lines 1–2 are CE star passage 7.91.3d*0627_05–06.

Verse 7 (7.115.7)

कृतवर्मा तु हार्दिक्यः शैनेयं निशितैः शरैः । अवाकिरत्सुसंक्रुद्धस्ततोऽक्रुद्ध्यत्स सात्यकिः ॥

kṛtavarmā tu hārdikyaḥ śaineyaṃ niśitaiḥ śaraiḥ | avākiratsusaṃkruddhastato'kruddhyatsa sātyakiḥ

Kritavarman, the son of Hridika, in great anger covered Shaineya with sharp arrows; and at that Satyaki grew angry.

Verse 8 (7.115.8)

अथाशु निशितं भल्लं शैनेयः कृतवर्मणः । प्रेषयामास समरे शरांश्च चतुरोऽपरान् ॥

athāśu niśitaṃ bhallaṃ śaineyaḥ kṛtavarmaṇaḥ | preṣayāmāsa samare śarāṃśca caturo'parān

Then Shaineya swiftly sent a sharp bhalla arrow at Kritavarman in the battle, and four other arrows besides.

Note on the text: Corrected भल्लुं → भल्लं (misprint in Wikisource; not a valid form; the arrow is bhalla, accusative भल्लं, as in the critical edition). Wikisource's genitive कृतवर्मणः is kept (the CE has the dative कृतवर्मणे, “at Kritavarman”); it is translated “at Kritavarman”.

Verse 9 (7.115.9)

ते तस्य जघ्निरे वाहान्भल्लेनास्याच्छिनद्धनुः । पृष्ठरक्षं तथा सूतमविध्यन्निशितैः शरैः ॥

te tasya jaghnire vāhānbhallenāsyācchinaddhanuḥ | pṛṣṭharakṣaṃ tathā sūtamavidhyanniśitaiḥ śaraiḥ

With those four arrows he killed his horses, with the bhalla he cut his bow, and with sharp arrows he struck his rear-guard and his charioteer.

Verse 10 (7.115.10)

ततस्तं विरथं कृत्वा सात्यकिः सत्यविक्रमः । सेनामस्यार्दयामास शरैः सन्नतपर्वभिः ॥

tatastaṃ virathaṃ kṛtvā sātyakiḥ satyavikramaḥ | senāmasyārdayāmāsa śaraiḥ sannataparvabhiḥ

Having thus left him without a chariot, Satyaki, true in valor, harried his army with straight-jointed arrows.

Verse 11 (7.115.11)

अभज्यताथ पृतना शैनेयशरपीडिता । पलायनकृतोत्साहा भ्रमन्ती तत्रतत्र ह । ततः प्रायात्स त्वरितः सात्यकिः सत्यविक्रमः ॥

abhajyatātha pṛtanā śaineyaśarapīḍitā | palāyanakṛtotsāhā bhramantī tatratatra ha | tataḥ prāyātsa tvaritaḥ sātyakiḥ satyavikramaḥ

Pressed by Shaineya's arrows, the host broke up — heartened for flight, wheeling about here and there. Then Satyaki, true in valor, swiftly moved on.

Note on the text: Removed stray wiki quote marks (backtick and apostrophe). Lines 1 and 3 are CE 7.91.8a and 8c; the middle line is CE star passage 7.91.8b*0628_01.

Verse 12 (7.115.12)

शृणु राजन्यदकरोत्तव सैन्येषु वीर्यवान् । अतीत्य स महाराज द्रोणानीकमहार्णवम् ॥

śṛṇu rājanyadakarottava sainyeṣu vīryavān | atītya sa mahārāja droṇānīkamahārṇavam

Hear, O king, what that mighty man did among your troops. Having crossed that ocean of Drona's army, O great king,

Verse 13 (7.115.13)

पराजित्य तु संहृष्टः कृतवर्माणमाहवे । यन्तारमब्रवीच्छूरः शनैर्याहीत्यसम्भ्रमम् ॥

parājitya tu saṃhṛṣṭaḥ kṛtavarmāṇamāhave | yantāramabravīcchūraḥ śanairyāhītyasambhramam

and having defeated Kritavarman in the fight, the hero, delighted, said to his charioteer: "Go slowly, without agitation."

Verse 14 (7.115.14)

दृष्ट्वा तु तव तत्सैन्यं रथाश्वद्विपसङ्कुलम् । पदातिजनसम्पूर्णमब्रवीत्सारथिं पुनः ॥

dṛṣṭvā tu tava tatsainyaṃ rathāśvadvipasaṅkulam | padātijanasampūrṇamabravītsārathiṃ punaḥ

Seeing that army of yours, crowded with chariots, horses and elephants and full of foot-soldiers, he spoke to his charioteer again:

Note on the text: Corrected द्वि पसङ्कुलम् → द्विपसङ्कुलम् (misprint in Wikisource; stray space inside the compound).

Verse 15 (7.115.15)

यदेतन्मेघसङ्काशं द्रोणानीकस्य सव्यतः । सुमहत्कुञ्जरानीकं यस्य रुक्मरथो मुखम् ॥

yadetanmeghasaṅkāśaṃ droṇānīkasya savyataḥ | sumahatkuñjarānīkaṃ yasya rukmaratho mukham

"That cloud-like host of great elephants on the left of Drona's army, whose front is the golden chariot —

Note on the text: Speaker changed from सञ्जय to सात्यकि: the whole verse is his unheaded speech (opened at the end of the previous verse).

Verse 16 (7.115.16)

एते हि बहवः सूत दुर्निवार्याश्च संयुगे । दुर्योधनसमादिष्टा मदर्थे त्यक्तजीविताः ॥

ete hi bahavaḥ sūta durnivāryāśca saṃyuge | duryodhanasamādiṣṭā madarthe tyaktajīvitāḥ

these are many, charioteer, and hard to withstand in battle — sent by Duryodhana, ready to give up their lives on my account —

Note on the text: Lines are CE 7.91.13a and 13c. Speaker changed from सञ्जय to सात्यकि (unheaded speech).

Verse 17 (7.115.17)

राजपुत्रा महेष्वासाः सर्वे विक्रान्तयोधिनः । न चाजित्वा रणे ह्येताञ्शक्यः प्राप्तुं जयद्रथः ॥

rājaputrā maheṣvāsāḥ sarve vikrāntayodhinaḥ | na cājitvā raṇe hyetāñśakyaḥ prāptuṃ jayadrathaḥ

princes, mighty archers, all valiant fighters. Without conquering them in battle, Jayadratha cannot be reached.

Note on the text: Removed stray wiki quote marks (backtick and apostrophe). Line 1 = CE 7.91.13e; line 2 (backticked in Wikisource) = CE star passage 7.91.13f*0629_01. Speaker changed from सञ्जय to सात्यकि (unheaded speech).

Verse 18 (7.115.18)

नापि सूत मया पार्थः शक्यः प्राप्तुं कथञ्चन । एते तिष्ठन्ति सहिताः सर्वविद्यासु निष्ठिताः ॥

nāpi sūta mayā pārthaḥ śakyaḥ prāptuṃ kathañcana | ete tiṣṭhanti sahitāḥ sarvavidyāsu niṣṭhitāḥ

Nor can I reach Partha by any means, charioteer. They stand together, all of them accomplished in every science.

Note on the text: Removed stray wiki quote marks (backtick and apostrophe). Not in the critical edition's main text; its two lines are CE star passage 7.91.13f*0629_02–03. Speaker changed from सञ्जय to सात्यकि (unheaded speech).

Verse 19 (7.115.19)

त्रिगर्तानां रथोदाराः सुवर्णविकृतध्वजाः । मामेवाभिमुखा वीरा योत्स्यमाना व्यवस्थिताः ॥

trigartānāṃ rathodārāḥ suvarṇavikṛtadhvajāḥ | māmevābhimukhā vīrā yotsyamānā vyavasthitāḥ

The noble chariot-fighters of the Trigartas, with banners wrought in gold, those heroes, stand drawn up to fight, facing me alone.

Note on the text: Speaker changed from सञ्जय to सात्यकि (unheaded speech).

Verse 20 (7.115.20)

अत्र मां प्रापय क्षिप्रमश्वांश्चोदय सारथे । त्रिगर्तैः सह योत्स्यामि भारद्वाजस्य पश्यतः ॥

atra māṃ prāpaya kṣipramaśvāṃścodaya sārathe | trigartaiḥ saha yotsyāmi bhāradvājasya paśyataḥ

Take me there quickly, charioteer, and urge on the horses. I shall fight the Trigartas as Bharadvaja's son (Drona) looks on."

Note on the text: Speaker changed from सञ्जय to सात्यकि (unheaded speech). A heading “सञ्जय उवाच” is printed (as 5-115-21x) before the next verse.

Verse 21 (7.115.21)

ततः प्रायाच्छनैः सूतः सात्वतस्य मते स्थितः । रथेनादित्यवर्णेन भास्वरेण पताकिना ॥

tataḥ prāyācchanaiḥ sūtaḥ sātvatasya mate sthitaḥ | rathenādityavarṇena bhāsvareṇa patākinā

Then the charioteer, abiding by the Sattvata's wish, drove slowly on in a shining, radiant, flag-bearing chariot the colour of the sun.

Verse 22 (7.115.22)

तमूहुः सारथेर्वश्या वल्गमाना हयोत्तमाः । वायुवेगसमाः सङ्ख्ये कुन्देन्दुरजतप्रभाः ॥

tamūhuḥ sārathervaśyā valgamānā hayottamāḥ | vāyuvegasamāḥ saṅkhye kundendurajataprabhāḥ

The finest of horses, obedient to the charioteer, bore it prancing — swift as the wind in battle, gleaming like jasmine, the moon and silver.

Verse 23 (7.115.23)

आपतन्तं रणे तं तु शङ्खवर्णैर्हयोत्तमैः । परिववुस्ततः शूरा गजानीकेन सर्वतः । किरन्तो विविधांस्तीक्ष्णान्सायकाँल्लघुवेधिनः ॥

āpatantaṃ raṇe taṃ tu śaṅkhavarṇairhayottamaiḥ | parivavustataḥ śūrā gajānīkena sarvataḥ | kiranto vividhāṃstīkṣṇānsāyakām̐llaghuvedhinaḥ

As he came on in the battle with his conch-white horses, the warriors surrounded him on every side with an elephant host, showering various sharp arrows of quick aim.

Note on the text: The three lines are CE 7.91.18a, 18c and 18e; line 1 reads “आपतन्तं रणे तं तु” where the CE has “आपतन्तं रथं तं तु”.

Verse 24 (7.115.24)

सात्वतोऽपि शितैर्बाणैर्गजानीकमयोधयत् । पर्वतानिव वर्षेण तपान्ते जलदो महान् ॥

sātvato'pi śitairbāṇairgajānīkamayodhayat | parvatāniva varṣeṇa tapānte jalado mahān

The Sattvata too fought the elephant host with sharp arrows, as a great cloud at the end of summer pours rain on mountains.

Verse 25 (7.115.25)

वज्राशनिसमस्पर्शैर्वध्यमानाः शरैर्गजाः । प्राद्रवन्रणमुत्सृज्य शिनिवीरसमीरितैः ॥

vajrāśanisamasparśairvadhyamānāḥ śarairgajāḥ | prādravanraṇamutsṛjya śinivīrasamīritaiḥ

Struck by arrows as grievous to the touch as thunderbolts, shot by the hero of the Shinis, the elephants abandoned the battle and fled.

Verse 26 (7.115.26)

शीर्णदन्ता विरुधिरा भिन्नमस्तकपिण्डिकाः । विशीर्णकर्णास्यकरा विनियन्तृपताकिनः ॥

śīrṇadantā virudhirā bhinnamastakapiṇḍikāḥ | viśīrṇakarṇāsyakarā viniyantṛpatākinaḥ

Their tusks shattered, drained of blood, the bosses on their foreheads split, their ears, mouths and trunks torn, robbed of their drivers and banners,

Verse 27 (7.115.27)

सम्भिन्नवर्मघण्टाश्च विनिकृत्तमहाध्वजाः । हतारोहा दिशो राजन्भेजिरे भ्रष्टकम्बलाः ॥

sambhinnavarmaghaṇṭāśca vinikṛttamahādhvajāḥ | hatārohā diśo rājanbhejire bhraṣṭakambalāḥ

their armour and bells broken, their great standards cut down, their riders slain, their blankets fallen, they ran off in all directions, O king,

Verse 28 (7.115.28)

रुवन्तो विविधान्नादाञ्जलदोपमनिःस्वनाः । नाराचैर्वत्सदन्तैश्च भल्लैरञ्जलिकैस्तथा ॥

ruvanto vividhānnādāñjaladopamaniḥsvanāḥ | nārācairvatsadantaiśca bhallairañjalikaistathā

trumpeting in many cries like the sound of clouds, torn by the Sattvata with iron arrows, calf-tooth arrows, bhallas and anjalikas,

Note on the text: Corrected नारचैर् → नाराचैर् (misprint in Wikisource; dropped vowel sign; the arrow is nārāca). Line 1 = CE 7.91.23a. Line 2 joins the first half of CE 7.91.23c (nārācair vatsadantaiś ca) to CE star passage 7.91.23c*0631_01 (bhallair añjalikais tathā); the CE's second half of 23c (sātvatena vidāritāḥ) falls in the next verse here.

Verse 29 (7.115.29)

क्षुरप्रैरर्धचन्द्रैश्च सात्वतेन विदारिताः । क्षरन्तोऽसृक्तथा मूत्रं पुरीषं च प्रदुद्रुवुः । बभ्रमुश्चस्खलुश्चान्ये पेतुर्मम्लुस्तथाऽपरे ॥

kṣuraprairardhacandraiśca sātvatena vidāritāḥ | kṣaranto'sṛktathā mūtraṃ purīṣaṃ ca pradudruvuḥ | babhramuścaskhaluścānye peturmamlustathā'pare

by razor-headed and crescent-headed arrows. Streaming blood, urine and dung, they fled; some wheeled about, others stumbled, fell and wilted.

Note on the text: Corrected बभ्रुमुश्चस्खलुश्चान्ये → बभ्रमुश्चस्खलुश्चान्ये (misprint in Wikisource; बभ्रुमुः is not a form of भ्रम्; the perfect is बभ्रमुः, as in the critical edition). Line 1 = CE star passage 7.91.23c*0631_02 (kṣuraprair ardhacandraiś ca) joined to the second half of CE 7.91.23c (sātvatena vidāritāḥ); lines 2–3 = CE star passage 7.91.23d*0632_01–02.

Verse 30 (7.115.30)

एवं तत्कुञ्जरानीकं युयुधानेन पीडितम् । शरैरग्न्यर्कसङ्काशैः प्रदुद्राव समन्ततः ॥

evaṃ tatkuñjarānīkaṃ yuyudhānena pīḍitam | śarairagnyarkasaṅkāśaiḥ pradudrāva samantataḥ

Thus that elephant host, tormented by Yuyudhana with arrows like fire and sun, fled in every direction.

Note on the text: Not in the critical edition's main text; its two lines are CE star passage 7.91.23d*0632_03–04.

Verse 31 (7.115.31)

तस्मिन्हते गजानीके जलसन्धो महाबलः । यत्तः सम्प्रापयन्नागं रजताश्वरथं प्रति ॥

tasminhate gajānīke jalasandho mahābalaḥ | yattaḥ samprāpayannāgaṃ rajatāśvarathaṃ prati

When that elephant host was broken, the mighty Jalasandha, intent, drove his elephant toward the chariot with the silver horses.

Verse 32 (7.115.32)

रुक्मवर्मधरः शूरस्तपनीयाङ्गदः शुचिः । कुण्डली मकुटी खड्गी रक्तचन्दनरूषितः ॥

rukmavarmadharaḥ śūrastapanīyāṅgadaḥ śuciḥ | kuṇḍalī makuṭī khaḍgī raktacandanarūṣitaḥ

The hero, pure of line, wore golden armour and golden armlets; he had earrings, a crown and a sword, and was anointed with red sandal.

Note on the text: Corrected खङ्गी → खड्गी (misprint in Wikisource; wrong nasal; the word is खड्ग). The CE reads “śaṅkhī” (conch-bearer) here, and “rukmavarṇakaraḥ” for “रुक्मवर्मधरः”; Wikisource's readings are kept.

Verse 33 (7.115.33)

शिरसा धारयन्दीप्तां तपनीयमयीं स्रजम् । उरसा धारयन्निष्कं कण्ठसूत्रं च भास्वरम् ॥

śirasā dhārayandīptāṃ tapanīyamayīṃ srajam | urasā dhārayanniṣkaṃ kaṇṭhasūtraṃ ca bhāsvaram

On his head he wore a blazing garland of gold; on his chest a necklace, and a shining cord at his throat.

Verse 34 (7.115.34)

चापं च रुक्मविकृतं विधुन्वन्गजमूर्धनि । अशोभत महाराज सविद्युदिव तोयदः ॥

cāpaṃ ca rukmavikṛtaṃ vidhunvangajamūrdhani | aśobhata mahārāja savidyudiva toyadaḥ

Brandishing his gold-adorned bow on the elephant's head, O great king, he shone like a cloud with lightning.

Verse 35 (7.115.35)

तमापतन्तं सहसा मागधस्य गजोत्तमम् । सात्यकिर्वारयामास वेलेव मकरालयम् ॥

tamāpatantaṃ sahasā māgadhasya gajottamam | sātyakirvārayāmāsa veleva makarālayam

As that best of elephants of the Magadha king rushed suddenly upon him, Satyaki checked it, as the shore checks the abode of sea-monsters.

Verse 36 (7.115.36)

नागं निवारितं दृष्ट्वा शैनेयस्य शरोत्तमैः । अक्रुध्यत रणे राजञ्जलसन्धो महाबलः ॥

nāgaṃ nivāritaṃ dṛṣṭvā śaineyasya śarottamaiḥ | akrudhyata raṇe rājañjalasandho mahābalaḥ

Seeing his elephant checked by Shaineya's excellent arrows, the mighty Jalasandha grew angry in the battle, O king.

Verse 37 (7.115.37)

ततः क्रुद्धो महाराज मार्गणैर्भारसाधनैः । अविध्यत शिनेः पौत्रं जलसन्धो महोरसि ॥

tataḥ kruddho mahārāja mārgaṇairbhārasādhanaiḥ | avidhyata śineḥ pautraṃ jalasandho mahorasi

Then, enraged, O great king, Jalasandha pierced the grandson of Shini in the broad chest with heavy arrows.

Verse 38 (7.115.38)

ततोऽपरेण भल्लेन पीतेन निशितेन च । अस्यतो वृष्णिवीरस्य निचकर्त शरासनम् ॥

tato'pareṇa bhallena pītena niśitena ca | asyato vṛṣṇivīrasya nicakarta śarāsanam

Then with another bhalla, yellow and sharp, he cut the bow of the Vrishni hero as he was shooting.

Verse 39 (7.115.39)

सात्यकिं छिन्नधन्वानं प्रहसन्निव भारत । अविध्यन्मागधो वीरः पञ्चभिर्निशितैः शरैः ॥

sātyakiṃ chinnadhanvānaṃ prahasanniva bhārata | avidhyanmāgadho vīraḥ pañcabhirniśitaiḥ śaraiḥ

As Satyaki stood bowless, the Magadha hero, as if laughing, O Bharata, pierced him with five sharp arrows.

Note on the text: Corrected छिन्नधन्वानां → छिन्नधन्वानं (misprint in Wikisource; a genitive plural cannot qualify the single Satyaki; the accusative singular is छिन्नधन्वानम्, as in the critical edition).

Verse 40 (7.115.40)

स विद्धो बहुभिर्बाणैर्जलसन्धेन वीर्यवान् । नाकम्पत महाबाहुस्तदद्भुतमिवाभवत् ॥

sa viddho bahubhirbāṇairjalasandhena vīryavān | nākampata mahābāhustadadbhutamivābhavat

Pierced by many arrows from Jalasandha, the mighty-armed hero did not tremble, and that seemed a wonder.

Verse 41 (7.115.41)

अचिन्तयन्वै स शरान्नात्यर्थं सम्भ्रमाद्बली । धनुरन्यत्समादाय तिष्ठतिष्ठेत्युवाच ह ॥

acintayanvai sa śarānnātyarthaṃ sambhramādbalī | dhanuranyatsamādāya tiṣṭhatiṣṭhetyuvāca ha

The strong one, in his haste, took no great account of the arrows. Taking up another bow, he said, "Stand! Stand!"

Verse 42 (7.115.42)

एतावदुक्त्वा शैनेयो जलसन्धं महोरसि । विव्याध षष्ट्या सुभृशं शराणां प्रहसन्निव ॥

etāvaduktvā śaineyo jalasandhaṃ mahorasi | vivyādha ṣaṣṭyā subhṛśaṃ śarāṇāṃ prahasanniva

Having said only this, Shaineya, as if laughing, pierced Jalasandha deeply in the broad chest with sixty arrows.

Verse 43 (7.115.43)

क्षुरप्रेण सुतीक्ष्णेन मुष्टिदेशे महद्धनुः । जलसन्धस्य चिच्छेद विव्याध च त्रिभिः शरैः ॥

kṣurapreṇa sutīkṣṇena muṣṭideśe mahaddhanuḥ | jalasandhasya ciccheda vivyādha ca tribhiḥ śaraiḥ

With a very sharp razor-headed arrow he cut Jalasandha's great bow at the grip, and pierced him with three arrows.

Verse 44 (7.115.44)

जलसन्धस्तु तत्त्यक्त्वा सशरं वै शरासनम् । तोमरं व्यसृजत्तूर्णं सात्यकिं प्रति मारिष ॥

jalasandhastu tattyaktvā saśaraṃ vai śarāsanam | tomaraṃ vyasṛjattūrṇaṃ sātyakiṃ prati māriṣa

But Jalasandha, throwing down that bow with its arrow, quickly hurled a spear at Satyaki, O sire.

Verse 45 (7.115.45)

स निर्भिद्य भुजं सव्यं माधवस्य महारणे । अभ्यगाद्धरणीं घोरः श्वसन्निव महोरगः ॥

sa nirbhidya bhujaṃ savyaṃ mādhavasya mahāraṇe | abhyagāddharaṇīṃ ghoraḥ śvasanniva mahoragaḥ

Piercing Madhava's left arm in that great battle, it went on into the earth, dreadful, like a great serpent hissing.

Verse 46 (7.115.46)

निर्भिन्ने तु भुजे सव्ये सात्यकिः सत्यविक्रमः । त्रिंशद्भिर्विशिखैस्तीक्ष्णैर्जलसन्धमताडयत् ॥

nirbhinne tu bhuje savye sātyakiḥ satyavikramaḥ | triṃśadbhirviśikhaistīkṣṇairjalasandhamatāḍayat

With his left arm pierced, Satyaki, true in valor, struck Jalasandha with thirty sharp shafts.

Verse 47 (7.115.47)

प्रगृह्य तु ततः खड्गं जलसन्धो महाबलः । आर्षभं चर्म च महच्छतचन्द्रकसङ्कुलम् । आविध्य च ततः खड्गं सात्वतायोत्ससर्ज ह ॥

pragṛhya tu tataḥ khaḍgaṃ jalasandho mahābalaḥ | ārṣabhaṃ carma ca mahacchatacandrakasaṅkulam | āvidhya ca tataḥ khaḍgaṃ sātvatāyotsasarja ha

Then the mighty Jalasandha, seizing a sword and a great bull-hide shield studded with a hundred moons, whirled the sword and hurled it at the Sattvata.

Note on the text: Corrected खङ्गं जलसन्धो → खड्गं जलसन्धो (misprint in Wikisource; wrong nasal; the word is खड्ग). Corrected ततः खङ्गं सात्वतायो → ततः खड्गं सात्वतायो (misprint in Wikisource; wrong nasal; the word is खड्ग).

Verse 48 (7.115.48)

शैनेयस्य धनुश्छित्त्वा स खड्गो न्यपतन्महीम् । अलातचक्रवच्चैव व्यरोचत महीं गतः ॥

śaineyasya dhanuśchittvā sa khaḍgo nyapatanmahīm | alātacakravaccaiva vyarocata mahīṃ gataḥ

That sword, after cutting Shaineya's bow, fell to the ground, and it gleamed there on the earth like a whirling firebrand.

Note on the text: Corrected खङ्गो → खड्गो (misprint in Wikisource; wrong nasal; the word is खड्ग).

a bow like a sal trunk, resounding like Indra's thunderbolt — drew it and, enraged, pierced Jalasandha with an arrow.

Note on the text: Lines are CE 7.91.42c and 42e (the CE verse 42 has three lines, a, c and e; Wikisource's verse 49 takes the first and this verse the other two).

Those two arms, like iron clubs, fell from the best of elephants like two five-headed serpents fallen from a mountain.

Note on the text: Corrected द्धष्टौ → द्भ्रष्टौ (misprint in Wikisource; dropped conjunct; the word is भ्रष्ट, “fallen”, as in the critical edition).

ततः सुदंष्ट्रं सुहनु चारुकुण्डलमण्डितम् । क्षुरेणास्य तृतीयेन शिरश्चिच्छेद सात्यकिः ॥

Jalasandha's elephant, its body drenched in blood, bore away the body that hung there, still clinging to the splendid seat.

Note on the text: Corrected रुधिरेणावसिक्ताङ्गौ → रुधिरेणावसिक्ताङ्गो (misprint in Wikisource; wrong vowel sign; the word agrees with कुञ्जरः and is singular, as in the critical edition).

Verse 57 (7.115.57)

शरार्दितः सात्वतेन मर्दमानः स्ववाहिनीम् । घोरमार्तस्वरं कृत्वा विदुद्राव महागजः ॥

Note on the text: Corrected नामृपभेण → नामृषभेण (misprint in Wikisource; ष mistyped as प; the word is ऋषभ, “bull”, as in the critical edition).

Verse 59 (7.115.59)

विमुखाश्चाभ्यधावन्त तव योधाः समन्ततः । पलायनकृतोत्साहा निरुत्साहा द्विषज्जये ॥

vimukhāścābhyadhāvanta tava yodhāḥ samantataḥ | palāyanakṛtotsāhā nirutsāhā dviṣajjaye

Your warriors turned their faces away and ran in every direction, their hearts set on flight, with no spirit left for conquering the foe.

Note on the text: Corrected द्विषञ्जये → द्विषज्जये (misprint in Wikisource; ष् + ज becomes ज्ज in sandhi; the word is द्विषज्जये, “in victory over the foe”, as in the critical edition).
