Crescent shaped arrows

Rubbing his two arms and the string also of gandiva, that fierce bowman, Arjuna, then sped showers of
cloth-yard shafts, and nalikas and arrows equipped with heads like boar’s ears and razors, and anjalikas,
and crescent-shaped arrows. Those arrows of Partha, O king, spread over the welkin, penetrated into
Karna’s car like flights of birds, with heads bent down, penetrating in the evening into a tree for roosting
there in the night. All those arrows, however, O king, that Arjuna, that victor over all foes, with
furrowed brow and angry glances, sped at Karna, all those successive showers of shafts shot by the son
of Pandu, were cut off by the suta’s son with his own arrows.
