Sanskrit Original
न विव्यथे महाबाहुर्भिद्यमान इवाचलः। स भीष्मं पञ्चविंशत्या कृपं च नवभिः शरैः॥ द्रोणंषष्ट्या नरव्याघ्रो विकर्णं च त्रिभिः शरैः। शल्यं चैव त्रिभिर्बाणै राजानं चैव पञ्चभिः॥ प्रत्यविध्यदमेयात्मा किरीटी भरतर्षभ। तं सात्यकिविराटश्च धृष्टद्युम्नश्च पार्षतः॥ द्रौपदेयाऽभिमन्युश्च परिवQर्धनंजयम्। ततो द्रोणं महेष्वासं गाङ्गेयस्य प्रिये रतम्॥ अभ्यवर्ततं पाञ्चाल्यः संयुक्तः सह सोमकैः। भीष्मस्तु रथिनां श्रेष्ठो राजन् विव्याध पाण्डवम्॥
That mighty-armed one, stood unmoved as a mountain. Thereupon, that greatly powerful hero (Arjuna), of immeasurable strength, pierced Bhishma with twenty five, Kripa with nine, Drona with sixty, Vikarna with three, Artayani with three and also the king (Duryodhana) with five arrows. Then Satyaki, Virata, Prishata prince Dhrishtadyumna, the sons of Draupadi, and Abhimanyu all came there to help him. Then the Panchala prince, supported by the Somakas, rushed upon the great bowman Drona who was aiding the son of Ganga (Bhishma). Then Bhishma, that best of all car-warriors, soon wounded that son of Pandu.
