Thousands of arrows

Meantime, stringing his large bow anew, Partha, that foremost of all persons conversant with arms, getting the better of his
preceptor, quickly shot six hundred arrows as if he had taken and shot only one arrow. And once more
he shot seven hundred other arrows, and then a thousand arrows incapable of being resisted, and ten
thousand other arrows. All these slew many warriors of Drona's array. Deeply pierced with those
weapons by the mighty and accomplished Partha, acquainted with all modes of warfare, many men and
steeds and elephants fell down deprived of life. And car-warriors, afflicted by those shafts, fell down
from their foremost of cars, deprived of horses and standards and destitute of weapons and life.

And elephants fell down like summits of hills, or masses of clouds, or large houses, loosened, dispersed, or
burnt down by the thunder, or by the wind, or fire. Struck with Arjuna's shafts, thousands of steeds fell
down like swans on the breast of Himavat, struck down by the force of watery current. Like the Sun, that
rises at the end of the Yuga, drying up with his rays, vast quantities of water, the son of Pandu, by his
showers of weapons and arrows, slew a vast number of car-warriors and steeds and elephants and foot-soldiers.
