Rahular Itihasa / M. N. Dutt · Bhishma Parva Chapter 46 · Verse 31
Sanskrit Original
चेदिराजस्तु संक्रुद्धो बाह्रीकं नवभिः शरैः। विव्याध समरे तूर्णं मत्तो मत्तमिव द्विपम्॥ तौ तत्र समरे क्रुद्धौ नर्दन्तौ च पुनः पुनः। समीयतुः सुसंक्रुद्धावङ्गारकबुधाविव॥ राक्षसं रौद्रकर्माणं क्रूरकर्मा घटोत्कचः। अलम्बुषं प्रत्युदियाद् बलं शक्र इवाहवे॥
The king of the Chedis, then becoming exceedingly, angry, quickly pierced Balhika with nine arrows in that battle. Like an infuriated elephants, attacking another infuriated elephants, they roared against each other in great anger. They fought in great wrath and they looked like the planets Angaraka and Budha. Ghatotkacha the barbarous monster attacked on the monster known as Alambusha, the evildoer. This attack was made same way as Indra invaded on Bala, a dangerous demon.
