Rahular Itihasa / M. N. Dutt · Vana Parva Chapter 19 · Verse 12
Sanskrit Original
दारुकस्य सुतस्तत्र बाणवेगमचिन्तयन्। भूय एव महाबाहो प्रययावपसव्यतः॥ ततो बाणान् बहुविधान् पुनरेव स सौभराट्। मुमोच तनये वीर मम रुक्मिणिनन्दने॥ तानप्राप्ताञ्छितैर्बाणैश्चिच्छेद परवीरहा। रौक्मिणेयः स्मितं कृत्वा दर्शयन् हस्तलाघवम्॥ छिन्नान् दृष्ट्वा तु तान् बाणान् प्रद्युम्नेन च सौभराट्। आसुरीं दारुणीं मायामास्थाय व्यसृजच्छरान्॥
O mighty-armed hero, without taking any notice of the force of those arrows the son of Daruka, continued to lead the chariot round the (Shalva's) army as he was doing (from the start). O hero, thereupon the king Shalva, again discharged at my son, the son born of Rukmani, a shower of various kinds of weapons. But that slayer of hostile heroes, the son of Rukmani, smilingly showed the lightness of his hand and cut off all those weapons before they reached him. Secing all his weapons cut down, the Saubha king, taking recourse of the terrible illusion, natural to the Asuras, poured a shower of weapons.
