ruler of the Bhojas then, laughing the while, pierced Partha and Vasudeva each with five and twenty arrows.  Arjuna then, cutting off Kritavarman’s bow, pierced him with one and twenty arrows resembling blazing flames of fire or angry snakes of virulent poison.  Then Kritavarman, that mighty car-warrior, taking up another bow, pierced Arjuna in the chest, O Bharata, with five arrows.  And once more he pierced Partha with five sharp arrows.  Then Partha struck him in return in the centre of the chest with nine arrows.  Beholding the son of Kunti obstructed before the car of Kritavarman, he of Vrishni’s race thought that no time should be wasted.  Then Krishna addressing Partha, said, Do not show any mercy to Kritavarman!  Disregarding thy relationship (with him), crush and slay him!’ Then Arjuna, stupefying Kritavarman with his arrows, proceeded, on his swift steeds, to the division of the Kamvojas.  Seeing Arjuna of white steeds penetrate into the Kamvoja force, Kritavarman became filled with wrath.  Taking his bow with arrows fixed thereon, he then encountered the two Panchala princes.  Indeed, Kritavarman, with his arrows resisted those two Panchala princes as they advanced, following Arjuna for protecting his wheels.  Then Kritavarman, the ruler of the Bhojas, pierced them both with sharp shafts, striking Yudhamanyu with three, and Uttamaujas with four.  Those two princes in return each pierced him with ten arrows.  And once more, Yudhamanyu shooting three arrows and Uttamaujas shooting three cut off Kritavarman’s standard and bow.  Then the son of Hridika, taking up another bow, and becoming infuriated with rage, deprived both those warriors of their bows and covered them with arrows.  Then those two warriors, taking up and stringing two other bows, began to pierce Kritavarman.  Meanwhile Vibhatsu penetrated into the hostile army.  But those two princes, resisted by Kritavarman, obtained no admittance into the Dhritarashtra host, although those bulls among men struggled vigorously.  Then Arjuna of white steeds quickly afflicted in that battle the divisions opposed to him.  That slayer of foes, however, slew not Kritavarman although he had got him within reach..  Beholding Partha thus proceeding, the brave king Srutayudha, filled with wrath, rushed at him, shaking his large bow.  And he pierced Partha with three arrows, and Janardana with seventy.  And he struck the standard of Partha with a very sharp arrow having a razor-like head.  Then Arjuna, filled with wrath deeply pierced his antagonist with ninety straight shafts, like (a rider) striking a mighty elephant with the hook.  Srutayudha, however, could not, O king, brook that act of prowess on the part of Pandu’s son.  He pierced Arjuna in return with seven and seventy shafts.  Arjuna then cut off Srutayudha’s bow and then his quiver, and angrily struck him on the chest with seven straight shafts.  Then, king Srutayudha, deprived of his senses by wrath, took up another bow and struck the son of Vasava with nine arrows on the latter’s
