Arjuna said O king, you should upbraid me no more. You who are at a distance of about two miles from the battle-field, should not upbraid me for nothing. He who having, in fair fight, defeated the enemies and slain those chivalrous lords of Earth and their best and leading car-warriors, elephants, cavalry and innumerable combatants, has been fighting with the foremost of heroes; he, who having routed in fight more than a thousand elephants and ten thousand soldiers of the Kambojamountaineers has been yelling as a lion roars after having killed many a deer; that Bhima may upbraid me. The wonderful feats the hero Vrikodara has been achieving on jumping down from his chariot with mace in hand and the innumerable horses, cars and elephants he has been destroying, are such, the like of which you can never achieve. That hero, with the valour of Indra, has been, with the best of swords, splitting down riders with horses and elephants and has been consuming the enemies with arrows and the broken limbs of cars and spreading death all around with his feet and hands. Indeed, Bhimasena, mighty like Yama and Kubera, readily slays the hostile army. That Bhimasena may revile me and not you who are ever being protected by friends.
