500 arrows

Endued with energy and well-versed in the use of weapons, those tigers among men, the
sons of Pritha, when united with the celestials, will be incapable of being even gazed upon by human
warriors, He who hath the irresistible, excellent and celestial Gandiva for his bow, he who hath a couple
of celestial quivers obtained from Varuna,--large, full of shafts, and inexhaustible, he on whose banner,
that is unobstructed like smoke in its action, is stationed the monkey-image of celestial origin, whose car
is unequalled on the earth girt by the four seas, and the rattle of which as heard by men is like the roar of
the clouds, and which like the rolling of the thunder frightens the foe; he whom the whole world regards
as superhuman in energy; he whom all the kings of the earth know to be the vanquisher of the very gods
in battle; he that taketh up five hundred arrows at a time and in the twinkling of the eye, shooteth them,
unseen by other, to a great distance; that son of Pritha and tiger among car-warriors and chastiser of
foes, whom Bhishma and Drona and Kripa and Drona's son and Salya, the king of the Madras, and in
fact, all impartial persons, regard as incapable of being vanquished by even earthly kings of superhuman
prowess, when ready for fight who shooteth at one stretch full five hundred arrows, and who is equal
unto Kartavirya in strength of arms; that great bowman, Arjuna, equal unto Indra or Upendra in
prowess,--I behold that great warrior committing a great havoc in this terrible battle.
