combatant on foot, excited with rage, all alone, and like Yama at the season of universal dissolution, he struck terror into his foes and confounded those brave warriors.  Only they that were senseless rushed with loud shouts at him wandering in that great battle with impetuosity, sword in hand.  And that grinder of foes, endued with great strength, cutting off the shafts and yokes of warriors on their cars, slew those warriors also.  And Bhimasena was seen, O Bharata, to display diverse kinds of motions there.  He wheeled about, and whirled about on high, and, made side-thrusts, and jumped forward, and ran above, and leapt high.  And, O Bharata, he was also seen to rush forward and rush upward.  And some mangled by the high-souled son of Pandu by means of his excellent sword, shrieked aloud, struck at their vitals or fell down deprived of life.  And many elephants, O Bharata, some with trunks and the extremities of their tusks cut off, and others having their temporal globes cut open, deprived of riders, slew their own ranks and fell down uttering loud cries.  And broken lances, O king, and the head of elephant drivers, and beautiful housings of elephants, and chords resplendent with gold, and collars, and darts and mallets and quivers, diverse kinds of machines, and beautiful bows, short arrows with polished heads, with hooks and iron crows for guiding elephants, bells of diverse shape, and hilts decked with gold, were seen by us falling down or (already) fallen along with riders of steeds.  And with elephants (lying down) having the fore parts and hind parts of their bodies and their trunks cut off, or entirely slain, the field seemed to be strewn with fallen cliffs.  That bull among men, having thus crushed the huge elephants, next crushed the steeds also.  And, O Bharata, that hero also felled the foremost of cavalry soldiers.  And the battle, O sire, that took place between him and them was fierce in the extreme.  And hilts and traces, and saddle girths resplendent with gold, and covers for the back of steeds, and bearded darts, and costly swords, and coats of mail, and shields, and beautiful ornaments, were seen by us strewn over the ground in that great battle.  And he caused the earth to be strewn over (with blood) as if it were variegated with lilies.  And the mighty son of Pandu, jumping high and dragging some car-warriors down with his sword felled them along with (their) standards.  Frequently jumping up or rushing on all sides, that hero endued with great activity, wandering along many routes, caused the combatants to be amazed.  And some he slew by his legs, and dragging down others he pressed them down under the earth.  And others he cut off with his sword, and others he frightened with his roars.  And others he threw down on the ground by the force of his thighs (as he ran).  And others, beholding him, fled away in terror.  It was thus that that vast force of the Kalingas endued with great activity, surrounding the terrible Bhimasena
