shook with terror of Bhimasena, like a large lake agitated by an alligator.  And struck with panic in consequence of Bhima of wonderful achievements, all the Kalinga combatants fled away in all directions.  When, however, they were rallied again, the commander of the Pandava army (Dhrishtadyumna), O Bharata, ordered his own troops, saying,—­’Fight’.  Hearing the words of their commander, many leaders (of the Pandava army) headed by Sikhandin approached Bhima, supported by many car-divisions accomplished in smiting.  And Pandu’s son, king Yudhishthira the just, followed all of them with a large elephant force of the colour of the clouds.  And thus urging all his divisions, the son of Prishata, surrounded by many excellent warriors, took upon himself the protection of one of the wings of Bhimasena.[365] There exists nobody on earth, save Bhima and Satyaki, who to the prince of the Panchalas is dearer than his very life.  That slayer of hostile heroes, the son of Prishata, beheld the mighty-armed Bhimasena, that slayer of foes, wandering among the Kalingas.  He set up many shouts, O king, and was filled with delight, O chastiser of foes.  Indeed, he blew his conch in battle and uttered a leonine roar.  And Bhimasena also, beholding the red standard of Dhrishtadyumna on his car decked with gold and unto which were yoked steeds white as pigeons, became comforted.[366] And Dhrishtadyumna of immeasurable soul, beholding Bhimasena encountered by the Kalingas rushed to the battle for his rescue.  And both those heroes.  Dhrishtadyumna and Vrikodara, endued with great energy, beholding Satyaki at a distance, furiously encountered the Kalingas in battle.  And that bull among men, the grand son of Sini, that foremost of victorious warriors, quickly advancing to the spot took up the wing of both Bhima and Prishata’s son.  Bow in hand creating a great havoc there and making himself fierce in the extreme, he began to slay the enemy in battle.  And Bhima caused a river to flow there of bloody current, mingled with the blood and flesh of the warriors born in Kalinga.  And beholding Bhimasena then, the troops cried aloud, O king, saying.  ’This is Death himself that is fighting in Bhima’s shape with the Kalingas.’  Then Santanu’s son Bhishma, hearing those cries in battle, quickly proceeded towards Bhima, himself surrounded on all sides with combatants in army.  Thereupon, Satyaki and Bhimasena and Dhrishtadyumna of Prishata’s race, rushed towards that car of Bhima decked with gold.  And all of them quickly surrounding Ganga’s son in battle, pierced Bhishma, each with three terrible shafts, without losing a moment.  Thy sire Devavrata, however, in return pierced each of those mighty bowmen striving (in battle) with three straight shafts.  And checking those mighty car-warriors, with thousands of arrows he Slew with his shafts the steeds of Bhima decked with golden armour.  Bhima, however, endued with great energy, staying on that car whose steeds had been slain, with great impetuosity hurled a dart
