The son of Kunti, O king, urged on Shikhandin, saying “Advance, advance upon Bhishima and slay him.” Thereupon, O elder brother of Pandu the ruler of the Pragjyotishas abandoning Pandu's son in battle, rushed swiftly, o king, towards the chariot of Draupada. Thereat Arjuna, O mighty monarch, quickly advanced towards Bhishma, with Shikhandin in front of him, and then there raged a (dreadful) fight. Thereupon, in that battle your warriors, uttering fierce yells, rushed quickly at the son of Pandu. Then all this appeared marvelous. Then, O ruler of men, the army of your sons consisting of various divisions Arjuna began to scatter away like a strong gale scattering away clouds in the walk in.
