Satyaki Unseats Karna

Verse 1 (7.145.1)

तदवस्थे हते तस्मिन्भूरिश्रवसि कौरवे । यथा भूयोऽभवद्युद्धं तन्ममाचक्ष्व सञ्जय ॥

tadavasthe hate tasminbhūriśravasi kaurave | yathā bhūyo'bhavadyuddhaṃ tanmamācakṣva sañjaya

When the Kaurava Bhurishravas had been brought to such a pass and slain, how did the battle go on after that? Tell me that, Sanjaya.

Note on the text: Adhyaya note: the input has 74 verses and agrees with the raw page row for row; the only change of division is at page verses 26/27 (see verses 26 and 27 of this file, which re-divide the page's lines 26a–27c as the page's own verse-end marks require). The page is CE 7.120.1–6 and 7.122.27–88 (with star passages); the CE's Duryodhana–Karna exchange (7.120.10–7.122.27) is not on the page. Speaker fixes: the input carried "अर्जुन" from verse 3 through verse 14 and "सञ्जय" from verse 15 through verse 21; the page prints headings only at verses 1, 2, 3, 15, 22, 24, 62 and 64, so the narration (verses 7–12) is given to Sanjaya and Krishna's speech (verses 16–21) to Vasudeva. This verse: corrected हे → हते (misprint in Wikisource; the sense and CE hate). Line 1 is a variant of CE 7.120.1a ("tadavasthe hate tasmin"), kept. Page heading: "धृतराष्ट्र उवाच".

Verse 2 (7.145.2)

भूरिश्रवसि सङ्क्रान्ते परलोकाय भारत । वासुदेवं महाबाहुरर्जुनः समचूचुदत् ॥

bhūriśravasi saṅkrānte paralokāya bhārata | vāsudevaṃ mahābāhurarjunaḥ samacūcudat

O Bharata, when Bhurishravas had passed on to the other world, the mighty-armed Arjuna urged Vasudeva on.

Verse 3 (7.145.3)

चोदयाश्वान्भृशं कृष्ण यतो राजा जयद्रथः । श्रूयते पुण्डरीकाक्ष त्रिषु धर्मेषु वर्तते । प्रतिज्ञां सफलां चापि कर्तुमर्हसि मेऽनघ ॥

codayāśvānbhṛśaṃ kṛṣṇa yato rājā jayadrathaḥ | śrūyate puṇḍarīkākṣa triṣu dharmeṣu vartate | pratijñāṃ saphalāṃ cāpi kartumarhasi me'nagha

Drive the horses hard, Krishna, to where King Jayadratha is. It is heard, lotus-eyed one, that he abides within the three ways of dharma. Sinless one, you must make my vow come true.

Note on the text: Removed the square brackets that Wikisource prints round line 2 (a half-line it marks as found in one manuscript only) and the stray ' ।' after the closing bracket; the line is kept. Line 1 is CE 7.120.3a; line 2 is the CE star passage 7.120.3b*0991_01 ("śrūyate puṇḍarīkākṣa triṣu dharmeṣu vartate"); line 3 is the CE star passage 7.120.3b*0990_01 ("pratijñāṃ saphalāṃ cāpi kartum arhasi me 'nagha"); the page has the two star lines in the reverse of the CE's order. Page heading: "अर्जुन उवाच".

Verse 4 (7.145.4)

अस्तमेति महाबाहो त्वरमाणो दिवाकरः ॥

astameti mahābāho tvaramāṇo divākaraḥ

Mighty-armed one, the sun is hurrying toward its setting.

Note on the text: Single line as printed on the page; it is CE 7.120.3c ("astam eti mahābāho tvaramāṇo divākaraḥ").

Verse 5 (7.145.5)

एतद्धि पुरुषव्याघ्र महदभ्युद्यतं मया । कार्यं संरक्ष्यते चैष कुरुसेनामहारथैः ॥

etaddhi puruṣavyāghra mahadabhyudyataṃ mayā | kāryaṃ saṃrakṣyate caiṣa kurusenāmahārathaiḥ

This great undertaking is mine, best of men, and this task of mine is being guarded by the great chariot-warriors of the Kuru army.

Note on the text: Corrected महदब्युद्यतं → महदभ्युद्यतं (misprint in Wikisource; ब्यु for भ्यु; CE abhyudyatam).

Verse 6 (7.145.6)

यथा नाभ्येति सूर्योऽस्तं यथा सत्यं भवेद्वचः । चोदयाश्वांस्तथा कृष्ण यथा हन्यां जयद्रथम् ॥

yathā nābhyeti sūryo'staṃ yathā satyaṃ bhavedvacaḥ | codayāśvāṃstathā kṛṣṇa yathā hanyāṃ jayadratham

Urge the horses on, Krishna, so that the sun does not reach its setting and my word proves true, and I may kill Jayadratha.

Verse 7 (7.145.7)

ततः कृष्णो महाबाहुरश्वान्रजतसन्निभान् । हयज्ञश्चोदयामास जयद्रथवधं प्रति ॥

tataḥ kṛṣṇo mahābāhuraśvānrajatasannibhān | hayajñaścodayāmāsa jayadrathavadhaṃ prati

Then the mighty-armed Krishna, who knew horses, urged on the silver-white horses toward the killing of Jayadratha.

Note on the text: Removed the leading backtick (the wiki mark opening a vulgate insertion). Speaker fix: the input carried Arjuna over from his speech; this is narration, so Sanjaya.

Verse 8 (7.145.8)

तं प्रयान्तममोघेषुमुत्पतद्भिरिवाशुगैः । त्वरमाणा महाराज सेनामुख्याः समाद्रवन् ॥

taṃ prayāntamamogheṣumutpatadbhirivāśugaiḥ | tvaramāṇā mahārāja senāmukhyāḥ samādravan

As he advanced with his unfailing arrows, O great king, the chiefs of the army hurried after him and rushed upon him like winds springing up.

Note on the text: Speaker fix: narration, so Sanjaya (the input carried Arjuna over). Line 2 differs from CE 7.120.7c in its last word (page "समाद्रवन्", CE samāvrajan), a variant, kept. The page's commentary glosses आशुगैः as "winds".

Verse 9 (7.145.9)

दुर्योधनश्च कर्णश्च वृषसेनोऽथ मद्रराट् । अश्वत्थामा कृपश्चैव स्वयमेव च सैन्धवः ॥

duryodhanaśca karṇaśca vṛṣaseno'tha madrarāṭ | aśvatthāmā kṛpaścaiva svayameva ca saindhavaḥ

Duryodhana, Karna, Vrishasena, the king of the Madras, Ashvatthama, Kripa, and Saindhava himself.

Note on the text: Speaker fix: narration, so Sanjaya (the input carried Arjuna over). The verse is the list of those who rushed upon Arjuna (the verb is in the previous verse).

Verse 10 (7.145.10)

समासाद्य च बीभत्सुः सैन्धवं समुपस्थितम् । नेत्राभ्यां क्रोधदीप्ताभ्यां सम्प्रैक्षन्निर्दहन्निव ॥

samāsādya ca bībhatsuḥ saindhavaṃ samupasthitam | netrābhyāṃ krodhadīptābhyāṃ sampraikṣannirdahanniva

Bibhatsu, reaching Saindhava where he stood before them, gazed at him with eyes blazing with anger, as though burning him up.

Note on the text: Removed the wiki closing apostrophe (it closes the backtick opened at verse 7). Speaker fix: narration, so Sanjaya (the input carried Arjuna over). Line 1 is a variant of CE 7.120.9a ("samāsādya tu bībhatsuḥ saindhavaṃ pramukhe sthitam"); line 2 is CE 7.120.9c.

Verse 11 (7.145.11)

यथाग्निरिन्धनेद्धो वै क्रोधेन्धनसमीरितः । सैन्धवस्य मुखं त्यक्त्वा कर्णः सात्वतमभ्ययात् ॥

yathāgnirindhaneddho vai krodhendhanasamīritaḥ | saindhavasya mukhaṃ tyaktvā karṇaḥ sātvatamabhyayāt

Like a fire kindled by fuel and fanned by the fuel of wrath, Karna left Saindhava's front and went against the Satvata.

Note on the text: Corrected इन्धनेद्धौ → इन्धनेद्धो (misprint in Wikisource; the nominative, as the sense and CE indhaneddho require). Not in the critical edition's main text: line 1 is the CE star passage 7.122.27b*1037_01 ("yathāgnir indhaneddho vai krodhendhanasamīritaḥ") and line 2 is the star passage 7.122.27d*1038_01 ("saindhavasya mukhaṃ tyaktvā karṇaḥ sātvatam abhyayāt"). Speaker fix: narration, so Sanjaya (the input carried Arjuna over).

Verse 12 (7.145.12)

उपायान्तं तु राधेयं दृष्ट्वा पार्थो महारथः । प्रहसन्देवकीपुत्रमिदं वचनमब्रवीत् ॥

upāyāntaṃ tu rādheyaṃ dṛṣṭvā pārtho mahārathaḥ | prahasandevakīputramidaṃ vacanamabravīt

Seeing Radheya approaching, the great chariot-warrior Partha laughed and spoke these words to the son of Devaki.

Note on the text: Removed the stray asterisk after उपायान्तं (the page's footnote marker, not part of the text). Speaker fix: these lines are narration introducing Arjuna's words, so Sanjaya (the input carried Arjuna over).

Verse 13 (7.145.13)

एष प्रयात्याधिरथिः सात्यकेः स्यन्दनं प्रति । न मृष्यति हतं नूनं भूरिश्रवसमाहवे ॥

eṣa prayātyādhirathiḥ sātyakeḥ syandanaṃ prati | na mṛṣyati hataṃ nūnaṃ bhūriśravasamāhave

This son of Adhiratha is heading for Satyaki's chariot; he cannot bear that Bhurishravas was slain in the battle.

Verse 14 (7.145.14)

यत्र यात्येष तत्र त्वं चोदयाश्वाञ्जनार्दन । न सौमदत्तिपदवीं गमयेत्सात्यकिं वृषः ॥

yatra yātyeṣa tatra tvaṃ codayāśvāñjanārdana | na saumadattipadavīṃ gamayetsātyakiṃ vṛṣaḥ

Wherever he goes, Janardana, drive the horses there, lest Vrisha, Karna, send Satyaki along the road that Somadatta's son has taken.

Verse 15 (7.145.15)

एवमुक्तो महाबाहुः केशवः सव्यसाचिना । प्रत्युवाच महातेजाः कालयुक्तमिदं वचः ॥

evamukto mahābāhuḥ keśavaḥ savyasācinā | pratyuvāca mahātejāḥ kālayuktamidaṃ vacaḥ

Thus addressed by Savyasachin, the mighty-armed and greatly radiant Keshava replied with words suited to the hour.

Verse 16 (7.145.16)

अलमेष महाबाहुः कर्णायैकोऽपि पाण्डव । किं पुनर्द्रौपदेयाभ्यां सहितः सात्वतर्षभः ॥

alameṣa mahābāhuḥ karṇāyaiko'pi pāṇḍava | kiṃ punardraupadeyābhyāṃ sahitaḥ sātvatarṣabhaḥ

Pandava, this mighty-armed Satyaki alone is enough against Karna; how much more so when the best of the Satvatas has the two sons of Draupadi with him.

Note on the text: Speaker fix: Krishna's reply to Arjuna (verse 15 introduces it; the page prints no new heading). The input kept Sanjaya.

Verse 17 (7.145.17)

न च तावत्क्षमः पार्थ तव कर्णेन सङ्गरः । प्रज्वलन्ती महोल्केव तिष्ठत्यस्मिन्हि वासवी । त्वदर्थं पूज्यमानैषा रक्ष्यते परवीरहन् ॥

na ca tāvatkṣamaḥ pārtha tava karṇena saṅgaraḥ | prajvalantī maholkeva tiṣṭhatyasminhi vāsavī | tvadarthaṃ pūjyamānaiṣā rakṣyate paravīrahan

And it is not yet fitting, Partha, that you should fight Karna. The Vasavi dart blazes in his hand like a great meteor; he honors it and keeps it for you, slayer of hostile heroes.

Note on the text: Speaker fix: Krishna (see verse 16). The three lines are CE 7.122.33a, 33c and 33e (the page's commentary supplies "शक्ति" for वासवी).

Verse 18 (7.145.18)

न कर्णं प्राकृतं मन्ये तेन योद्धुं न साम्प्रतम् । यः कर्णो बलवानेष शक्तोऽस्माञ्जेतुमोजसा ॥

na karṇaṃ prākṛtaṃ manye tena yoddhuṃ na sāmpratam | yaḥ karṇo balavāneṣa śakto'smāñjetumojasā

I do not take Karna to be an ordinary man, so it is not the time to fight him now. This Karna is mighty and able to defeat us by sheer force.

Note on the text: Removed the leading backtick (the wiki mark opening a vulgate insertion). Speaker fix: Krishna (see verse 16). Not in the critical edition's main text; the two lines correspond to the CE star passage 7.122.33f*1040_01–02 ("na karṇaṃ prākṛtaṃ manye tena yuddhaṃ na rocaye / karṇo hi balavān ekaḥ śakto 'smāñ jetum ojasā"), with variants (page "न साम्प्रतम्", "यः कर्णो बलवानेष"), kept.

Verse 19 (7.145.19)

कर्णस्यैष महान्दोषो यद्दूयेत पदेपदे । प्रमादाच्च घृणित्वाच्च तेन शोचति मे मनः ॥

karṇasyaiṣa mahāndoṣo yaddūyeta padepade | pramādācca ghṛṇitvācca tena śocati me manaḥ

But in this Karna there is one great flaw: at every step he is tormented by carelessness and by pity. That is why my mind is uneasy.

Note on the text: Corrected यद्दूयेन → यद्दूयेत and शोचिति → शोचति (misprints in Wikisource; a dropped final akshara and a stray vowel sign; the CE star line reads yaj jīyeta pade pade). Removed the wiki closing apostrophe (it closes the backtick opened at verse 18). Speaker fix: Krishna (see verse 16). Not in the critical edition's main text; the lines correspond to the CE star passage 7.122.33f*1040_04–05 ("karṇasyaiṣa mahādoṣo yaj jīyeta pade pade / pramādāc ca ghṛṇitvāc ca tena śakyatamo mataḥ"), with a different last quarter (page "तेन शोचति मे मनः"), kept. The CE's star line 7.122.33f*1040_03 is not on the page.

Verse 20 (7.145.20)

अतः कर्णः प्रयात्वत्र सात्वतस्य यथा तथा । अहं ज्ञास्यामि कौन्तेय कालमस्य दुरात्मनः ॥

ataḥ karṇaḥ prayātvatra sātvatasya yathā tathā | ahaṃ jñāsyāmi kaunteya kālamasya durātmanaḥ

So let Karna go on against the Satvata however he will; I shall know the hour of this wicked man, Kaunteya.

Note on the text: Speaker fix: Krishna (see verse 16). Lines are CE 7.122.34a and 34c.

Verse 21 (7.145.21)

यत्रैनं विशिखैस्तीक्ष्णैः पातयिष्यसि भूतले । तदा गन्तासि पार्थ त्वं तेन योद्धुं दुरात्मना ॥

yatrainaṃ viśikhaistīkṣṇaiḥ pātayiṣyasi bhūtale | tadā gantāsi pārtha tvaṃ tena yoddhuṃ durātmanā

When you have laid him low on the ground with sharp arrows, then, Partha, you may go and fight that wicked man.

Note on the text: Speaker fix: Krishna (see verse 16). Not in the critical edition's main text; the two lines correspond to the CE star passages 7.122.34d*1041_01 and 7.122.34d*1042_01 ("yatrainaṃ viśikhais tīkṣṇaiḥ pātayiṣyati bhūtale / tadā gantāsi pārtha tvaṃ tena yoddhuṃ durātmanā"); the CE has "pātayiṣyati" (third person), the page "पातयिष्यसि", kept.

Verse 22 (7.145.22)

योऽसौ कर्णेन वीरस्य वार्ष्णेयस्य समागमः । हते तु भूरिश्रवसि तद्युद्धमभवत्कथम् ॥

yo'sau karṇena vīrasya vārṣṇeyasya samāgamaḥ | hate tu bhūriśravasi tadyuddhamabhavatkatham

That meeting of the hero Satyaki, the Vrishni, with Karna, once Bhurishravas had been slain, how did that battle go?

Note on the text: Page heading: "धृतराष्ट्र उवाच". Line 1 is CE 7.122.35a; line 2 corresponds to CE 7.122.35c with the star line 7.122.35d*1044_01 ("saumadattiṃ hataṃ dṛṣṭvā tad yuddham abhavat katham"), a variant, kept.

Verse 23 (7.145.23)

सात्यकिश्चापि विरथः कं समारूढवान्रथम् । चक्ररक्षौ च पाञ्चाल्यौ तन्ममाचक्ष्व सञ्जय ॥

sātyakiścāpi virathaḥ kaṃ samārūḍhavānratham | cakrarakṣau ca pāñcālyau tanmamācakṣva sañjaya

And Satyaki, left without a chariot, what chariot did he mount? And the two Panchala wheel-guards? Tell me that, Sanjaya.

Verse 24 (7.145.24)

हन्त ते कथयिष्यामि यथावृत्तं महारणे । पश्यतां सर्वसैन्यानां केशवार्जुनयोरपि । शुश्रूषस्व स्थिरो भूत्वा दुराचरितमात्मनः ॥

hanta te kathayiṣyāmi yathāvṛttaṃ mahāraṇe | paśyatāṃ sarvasainyānāṃ keśavārjunayorapi | śuśrūṣasva sthiro bhūtvā durācaritamātmanaḥ

Listen, I shall tell you how it happened in that great battle, in the sight of all the armies and of Keshava and Arjuna too. Hear it steadily, the misconduct of your own side.

Note on the text: Corrected केशवार्युनयोरपि → केशवार्जुनयोरपि (misprint in Wikisource; यु for र्जु; CE keśavārjunayor). Page heading: "सञ्जय उवाच". Line 1 is CE 7.122.37a (page "कथयिष्यामि" for CE varṇayiṣyāmi, a variant, kept); line 2 is the CE star line 7.122.37d*1045_01; line 3 is CE 7.122.37c.

Verse 25 (7.145.25)

पूर्वमेव हि कृष्णस्य मनोगतमिदं प्रभो । विजेतव्यो यथा वीरः सात्यकिः सौमदत्तिना ॥

pūrvameva hi kṛṣṇasya manogatamidaṃ prabho | vijetavyo yathā vīraḥ sātyakiḥ saumadattinā

This had been in Krishna's mind from before, my lord: that the hero Satyaki would have to be overcome by Somadatta's son.

Note on the text: Restored पूर्व: the page prints "xxमेव", the first two aksharas lost (CE pūrvam eva; the page's commentary also glosses it पूर्वं पूर्वेद्युः). Line 2 differs from CE 7.122.38c ("vijetavyo yathā vīraḥ sātyakir yūpaketunā"): page "सौमदत्तिना" for yūpaketunā (both name Bhurishravas), a variant, kept.

Verse 26 (7.145.26)

अतीतानागते राजन्स हि वेत्ति जनार्दनः । ततः सूतं समाहूय दारुकं संदिदेश ह । रथो मे युज्यतां कल्यमिति राजन्महाबलः ॥

atītānāgate rājansa hi vetti janārdanaḥ | tataḥ sūtaṃ samāhūya dārukaṃ saṃdideśa ha | ratho me yujyatāṃ kalyamiti rājanmahābalaḥ

Janardana knows what is past and what is to come, O king. So he called his charioteer Daruka and gave him this order: "Let my chariot be yoked at dawn," said the mighty one, O king.

Note on the text: Re-divided by the page's own verse-end marks: the page prints lines 26a–26b (ending with a single danda) and then a line 27a that ends with the verse-end mark ।। (5-145-27a), after which lines 27b–27c follow with no mark of their own. A one-line verse is not possible there, so lines 26a, 26b and 27a form one three-line verse (the shape of CE 7.122.39ace) and lines 27b–27c form the next (verse 27 of this file; the CE's 7.122.40ac). Lines are CE 7.122.39a, 39c ("ataḥ sūtaṃ samāhūya" — page "ततः सूतं समाहूय", kept) and 39e. Corrected महाबालः → महाबलः (misprint in Wikisource; CE mahābalaḥ). Both this verse and the next keep the page's number (wikisource_number 26 and 27).

Verse 27 (7.145.27)

न हि देवा न गन्धर्वा न यक्षोरगराक्षसाः । मानवा वाऽपि जेतारः कृष्णयोः सन्ति केचन ॥

na hi devā na gandharvā na yakṣoragarākṣasāḥ | mānavā vā'pi jetāraḥ kṛṣṇayoḥ santi kecana

For neither gods nor gandharvas, nor yakshas, serpents or rakshasas, nor any men, are able to conquer the two Krishnas.

Note on the text: Lines 27b–27c of the page, split off from the preceding line (see the note on verse 26 above); the Sanskrit is unchanged from the input's lines 2–3 of this row. CE 7.122.40a and 40c (page "यक्षोरगराक्षसाः" for CE yakṣoragarākṣasāḥ, "मानवा वाऽपि" for mānavā vā, variants, kept). The "two Krishnas" are Krishna and Arjuna.

Verse 28 (7.145.28)

पितामहपुरोगाश्च देवाः सिद्धाश्च तं विदुः । तयोः प्रभावमतुलं शृणु युद्धं तु तत्तथा ॥

pitāmahapurogāśca devāḥ siddhāśca taṃ viduḥ | tayoḥ prabhāvamatulaṃ śṛṇu yuddhaṃ tu tattathā

The gods led by the Grandsire, and the Siddhas, know them. Hear their incomparable power, and how that battle went.

Verse 29 (7.145.29)

सात्यकिं विरथं दृष्ट्वा कर्णं चाभ्युद्यतं रणे । दध्मौ शङ्खं महानादमार्षभेणाथ माधवः ॥

sātyakiṃ virathaṃ dṛṣṭvā karṇaṃ cābhyudyataṃ raṇe | dadhmau śaṅkhaṃ mahānādamārṣabheṇātha mādhavaḥ

Seeing Satyaki chariotless and Karna rising against him in battle, Madhava blew his conch with a great sound, in the bull's note.

Verse 30 (7.145.30)

दारुकोऽवेत्य सन्देशं श्रुत्वा शङ्खस्य च स्वनम् । रथमन्वानयत्तस्मै सुपर्णोच्छ्रितकेतनम् ॥

dāruko'vetya sandeśaṃ śrutvā śaṅkhasya ca svanam | rathamanvānayattasmai suparṇocchritaketanam

Daruka understood the order and heard the sound of the conch, and he brought up for him the chariot with its banner of Suparna raised high.

Verse 31 (7.145.31)

स केशवस्यानुमते रथं दारुकसंयुतम् । आरुरोह शिनेः पौत्रो ज्वलनादित्यसन्निभम् ॥

sa keśavasyānumate rathaṃ dārukasaṃyutam | āruroha śineḥ pautro jvalanādityasannibham

With Keshava's leave, the grandson of Shini mounted that chariot, which had Daruka as its driver and shone like blazing fire and the sun.

Verse 32 (7.145.32)

कामगैः शैव्यसुग्रीवमेघपुष्पवलाहकैः । हयोदग्रैर्महावेगैर्हेमभाण्डविभूषितैः ॥

kāmagaiḥ śaivyasugrīvameghapuṣpavalāhakaiḥ | hayodagrairmahāvegairhemabhāṇḍavibhūṣitaiḥ

It was yoked with willing steeds, Shaibya, Sugriva, Meghapushpa and Valahaka, spirited, very swift, adorned with golden trappings.

Note on the text: Line 1 differs from CE 7.122.45a ("kāmagaiḥ sainyasugrīvameghapuṣpabalāhakaiḥ"): page "शैव्यसुग्रीव-" for CE sainyasugrīva-, a variant spelling of the same horse's name, kept.

Verse 33 (7.145.33)

युक्तं समारुह्य च तं विमानप्रतिमं रथम् । अभ्यद्रवत राधेयं प्रवपन्सायकान्बहून् ॥

yuktaṃ samāruhya ca taṃ vimānapratimaṃ ratham | abhyadravata rādheyaṃ pravapansāyakānbahūn

Mounting that chariot, which was like a celestial car and was thus yoked, he charged at Radheya, showering many arrows.

Verse 34 (7.145.34)

चक्ररक्षावपि तदा युधामन्यूत्तमौजसौ । धनञ्जयरथं हित्वा राधेयं प्रत्युदीयतुः ॥

cakrarakṣāvapi tadā yudhāmanyūttamaujasau | dhanañjayarathaṃ hitvā rādheyaṃ pratyudīyatuḥ

The two wheel-guards, Yudhamanyu and Uttamauja, then left Dhananjaya's chariot and went against Radheya.

Verse 35 (7.145.35)

राधेयोऽपि महाराज शरवर्षं समुत्सृजन् । अभ्यद्रवत्सुसङ्क्रुद्धो रणे शैनेयमच्युतम् ॥

rādheyo'pi mahārāja śaravarṣaṃ samutsṛjan | abhyadravatsusaṅkruddho raṇe śaineyamacyutam

And Radheya too, great king, loosing a shower of arrows, rushed in full fury upon the unfaltering Shaineya in the battle.

Verse 36 (7.145.36)

नैव दैवं न गान्धर्वं नासुरं न च राक्षसम् । तादृशं भुवि नो युद्धं दिवि वा श्रुतमित्युत । उपारमत तत्सैन्यं सरथाश्वनरद्विपम् ॥

naiva daivaṃ na gāndharvaṃ nāsuraṃ na ca rākṣasam | tādṛśaṃ bhuvi no yuddhaṃ divi vā śrutamityuta | upāramata tatsainyaṃ sarathāśvanaradvipam

Not among gods, nor gandharvas, nor asuras, nor rakshasas has such a battle been heard of on earth or in heaven. That army, with its chariots, horses, men and elephants, fell still.

Note on the text: Corrected उपारसत → उपारमत (misprint in Wikisource; स for म; CE upāramata). The page prints these three lines as one verse (CE 7.122.49a, 49c, 50a); the page's "भुवि नो युद्धम्" for CE bhuvi vā yuddham is a variant, kept.

Verse 37 (7.145.37)

तयोर्दृष्ट्वा महाराज कर्म सम्मूढचेतसः । सर्वे च समपश्यन्त तद्युद्धमतिमानुषम् ॥

tayordṛṣṭvā mahārāja karma sammūḍhacetasaḥ | sarve ca samapaśyanta tadyuddhamatimānuṣam

Seeing the deeds of those two, great king, all were bewildered in mind, and all watched that superhuman battle.

Note on the text: Two lines as printed on the page: CE 7.122.50c and 51a.

Verse 38 (7.145.38)

तयोर्नृवरयो राजन्सारथ्यं दारुकस्य च ॥

tayornṛvarayo rājansārathyaṃ dārukasya ca

They watched those two best of men, O king, and Daruka's skill as their charioteer,

Note on the text: Single line as printed on the page (CE 7.122.51c); the sentence continues in the next verse.

Verse 39 (7.145.39)

गतप्रत्यागतावृत्तैर्मण्डलैः सन्निवर्तनैः । सारथेस्तु रथस्थस्य काश्यपेयस्य विस्मिताः ॥

gatapratyāgatāvṛttairmaṇḍalaiḥ sannivartanaiḥ | sārathestu rathasthasya kāśyapeyasya vismitāḥ
