  1. Beholding the troops turning away
  2. from battle and Dhrishtadyumna exceedingly afflicted, the grandson of Sini quickly urged his car against that of Drona's son. He then afflicted Aswatthaman with eight keen shafts.
  3.  
  4. And once more striking that angry warrior with twenty shafts of diverse kinds, he pierced Aswatthaman's driver, and then his four
  5. steeds with four shafts. With. great deliberations and displaying a wonderful lightness of hand, he cut off
  6. Aswatthaman's bow and standard, Satyaki then cut into fragments the gold-decked car of this foe
  7. together with its steeds. And then he deeply pierced Aswatthaman in the chest with thirty arrows in that
  8. battle. Thus afflicted, O king, (by Satyaki), and shrouded with arrows, the mighty Aswatthaman knew
  9. not what to do.
  10.  
  11. When the preceptor's son had fallen into that plight, thy son, that car-warrior,
  12. accompanied by Kripa and Karna and others began to cover the Satwata hero with arrows. All of them
  13. began quickly to pierce Satyaki from every side with keen shafts, Duryodhana pierced him with twenty,
  14. Saradwat's son, Kripa, with three. And Kritavarman pierced him with ten, and Karna with fifty. And
  15. Duhsasana pierced him with a hundred arrows, and Vrishasena with seven. Satyaki, however, O king,
  16. soon made all those great car-warriors fly away from the field, deprived of their cars. Meanwhile,
  17. Aswatthaman, O bull of Bharata's race, recovering consciousness, and sighing repeatedly in sorrow,
  18. began to think of what he should do. Riding then upon another car, that scorcher of foes, viz., the son of
  19. Drona, began to resist Satyaki, shooting hundreds of arrows.
