Sanskrit Original
अन्वयुर्भरतश्रेष्ठ सप्त श्वेतरथं प्रति। ततस्ता ज्वलिताः सप्त महेन्द्राशनिनिःस्वनाः॥ अप्राप्ताः सप्तभिर्भल्लैश्चिच्छेद परमास्त्रवित्। ततः समादाय शरं सर्वकायविदारणम्॥ प्राहिणोद् भरतश्रेष्ठ श्वेतो रुक्मरथं प्रति। तस्य देहे निपतितो बाणो वज्रातिगो महान्॥
O best of the Bharata race, they hurled these seven darts on Shveta's chariot. Those blazing darts, which flew like large meteors with the sound of thunder, were all cut down by that great warrior with seven broad-headed arrows before they could reach him. O best of the Bharata race, then taking up an arrow which was capable of penetrating into every part of their body, he hurled it on Rukmaratha. That great arrow penetrated into his body.
