his charioteer), those combatants from desire of battle, speedily came before Satyaki of immeasurable prowess.  They made a loud noise, saying as they came, ‘Slay, Rush, Wait, See, See!’ Of those brave warriors that said these words, Satyaki, by means of his sharp arrows, slew three hundred horsemen and four hundred elephants.  The passage at arms between those united bowmen (on the one side) and Satyaki (on the other) was exceedingly fierce, resembling that between the gods and the Asuras (in days of old).  An awful carnage set in.  The grandson of Sini received with his shafts resembling snakes of virulent poison that force, O sire, of thy son which looked like a mass of clouds.  Shrouding every side, in that battle with his arrowy downpours, that valiant hero, O monarch, fearlessly slew a large number of thy troops.  Exceedingly wonderful, O king, was the sight that I witnessed there, viz., that not an arrow even, O lord, of Satyaki failed in effect.  That sea of troops, abounding in cars and elephants and steeds, and full of waves constituted by foot-soldiers, stood still as soon as it came in contact with the Satyaki continent.  That host consisting of panic-stricken combatants and elephants and steeds, slaughtered on all sides by Satyaki with his shafts repeatedly turned round, and wandered hither and thither as if afflicted with the chilling blasts of winter.  We saw not foot-soldiers or car-warriors or elephants or horsemen or steeds that were not struck with Yuyudhana’s arrows.  Not even Phalguna, O king, had caused such a carnage there as Satyaki, O monarch, then caused among those troops.  That bull among men, viz., the dauntless grandson of Sini, endued with great lightness of hand and displaying the utmost skill, fighteth, surpassing Arjuna himself.  Then king Duryodhana pierced the charioteer of Satwata with three keen shafts and his four steeds with four shafts.  And he pierced Satyaki himself with three arrows and once again with eight.  And Duhsasana pierced that bull among the Sinis with sixteen arrows.  And Sakuni pierced him with five and twenty arrows and Chitrasena with five.  And Duhsasana pierced Satyaki in the chest with five and ten arrows.  That tiger amongst the Vrishnis then, thus struck with their arrows, proudly pierced every one of them, O monarch, with three arrows.  Deeply piercing all his foes with shafts endued with great energy, the grandson of Sini, possessed of great activity and prowess, careered on the field with the celerity of a hawk.  Cutting off the bow of Suvala’s son and the leathern fence that cased his hand.  Yuyudhana pierced Duryodhana in the centre of the chest with three shafts.  And he pierced Chitrasena with a hundred arrows, and Duhsaha with ten.  And that bull of Sini’s race then pierced Duhsasana with twenty arrows.  Thy brother-in-law (Sakuni) then, O king, taking up another bow, pierced Satyaki with eight arrows and once more with five.  And Duhsasana pierced him with three.  And Durmukha,
