Second Brahmastra

Beholding that weapon of the diadem-decked Arjuna baffled in the midst of battle by Karna, the wrathful and mighty Bhima, blazing up with rage, addressed Arjuna of sure aim and said, "People say that thou art a master of the high brahmastra, that mighty
means (for achieving the destruction of foes). Do thou then, O Savyasaci, use another weapon of the
same kind." Thus addressed by his brother, Savyasaci used a second weapon of the kind. With that,
Partha of abundant energy shrouded all the points of the compass, cardinal and subsidiary, with arrows
sped from gandiva that resembled fierce snakes and were like the blazing rays of the sun.

Created by that bull of Bharata’s race, those arrows of golden wings, in hundreds upon hundreds, endued with the
effulgence of the yuga fire or the sun, in a moment shrouded the car of Karna. Thence also issued long
darts and battle-axes and discs and cloth-yard shafts in hundreds, all of awful forms, at which hostile
warriors all around began to be deprived of life. The head of some hostile warrior, severed from his
trunk, fell down on the field of battle. Another, beholding his fallen comrade, fell down dead on the
earth, through fear. The (right) arm of a third, large and massive as the trunk of an elephant, cut off (by
Partha), fell down with the sword in grasp. The left arm of a fourth, cut off with a razor-headed arrow,
fell down with the shield in it. Even thus, Partha, decked with diadem and garlands, wounded and slew
all the foremost warriors of Duryodhana’s army with his terrible and death-dealing shafts.
