Sanskrit Original
ततोऽर्जुनो भृशं क्रुद्धो निर्विद्धं प्रेक्ष्य माधवम्॥ सारथिं कुरुवृद्धस्य निर्बिभेद शितैः शरैः। यतमानौ त तौ वीरावन्योन्यस्य वधं प्रति॥ न शक्नुतां तदाऽन्योन्यमभिसंधातुमाहवे। तौ मण्डलानि चित्राणि गतप्रत्यागतानि च॥ अदर्शयेतां बहुधा सूतसामर्थ्यलाघवात्। अन्तरं च प्रहारेषु तर्कयन्तौ परस्परम्॥ राजन्नन्तरमार्गस्थौ स्थितावास्तां मुहुर्मुहुः। उभौ सिंहरवोन्मित्रं शङ्खशब्दं च चक्रतुः॥
Then seeing Madhava thus pierced, Arjuna wounded the charioteer of the son of Ganga with three arrows. Trying to strike each other's charioteers, they could not take aim at each other in that fight. O king, for the great ability and dexterity of the charioteers of both those warriors, their cars made beautiful circle by advancing and retreating. O king, seeking opportunity to strike each other, they often changed their positions to take aim at each other. Both of them blew their conchs and often sent forth lion-like roars.
