33. rājan teṣām rathasiṃhānām madhyam prāpya
dhanañjayaḥ mahārathān lakṣyam kṛtvā dhanuṣā cikrīḍa
33. O king, having penetrated the ranks of those valiant charioteers (rathasiṃha), Dhanañjaya skillfully fought with his bow, making the great charioteers his targets.
ततो दुर्योधनो राजा भीष्ममाह जनेश्वरः ।
पीड्यमानं स्वकं सैन्यं दृष्ट्वा पार्थेन संयुगे ॥३४॥
34. tato duryodhano rājā bhīṣmamāha janeśvaraḥ ,

34. tataḥ janeśvaraḥ rājā duryodhanaḥ pārthena saṃyuge
pīḍyamānam svakam sainyam dṛṣṭvā bhīṣmam āha
34. Then King Duryodhana, the lord of men, having seen his own army being harassed by Pārtha (Arjuna) in battle, addressed Bhīṣma.
एष पाण्डुसुतस्तात कृष्णेन सहितो बली ।
यततां सर्वसैन्यानां मूलं नः परिकृन्तति ।
त्वयि जीवति गाङ्गेये द्रोणे च रथिनां वरे ॥३५॥
35. eṣa pāṇḍusutastāta kṛṣṇena sahito balī ,

35. eṣaḥ pāṇḍusutaḥ tāta kṛṣṇena

rathinām vare eṣaḥ kṛṣṇena
sahitaḥ balī pāṇḍusutaḥ naḥ yatatām
sarvasainyānām mūlam parikṛntati
35. O dear one, even while you, the son of Gaṅgā (Gāṅgeya), and Droṇa, the best of charioteers, are alive, this powerful son of Pāṇḍu, accompanied by Kṛṣṇa, is cutting off the very root of all our struggling armies.
त्वत्कृते ह्येष कर्णोऽपि न्यस्तशस्त्रो महारथः ।

36. tvatkṛte hyeṣa karṇo'pi nyastaśastro mahārathaḥ ,

36. tvatkṛte hi eṣaḥ karṇaḥ api nyastaśastraḥ mahārathaḥ

36. hi tvatkṛte eṣaḥ api mahārathaḥ karṇaḥ sadā mama
hitakāmaḥ nyastaśastraḥ pārtham raṇe na yudhyati
36. Indeed, for your sake, even this great charioteer Karṇa, who is always my well-wisher, has laid down his weapons and does not fight Pārtha (Arjuna) in battle.
स तथा कुरु गाङ्गेय यथा हन्येत फल्गुनः ।

sa tathā kuru yathā phalgunaḥ hanyeta rājan,
evam uktaḥ,
tataḥ tava pitā devavrataḥ 'dhik kṣatradharmam' iti uktvā pārtharatham prati yayau
37. O son of Gaṅgā, act in such a way that Arjuna is killed. O king, your father Devavrata, having been told this, then exclaimed, 'Shame on the warrior's code (kṣatra dharma)!' and went towards Arjuna's chariot.
उभौ श्वेतहयौ राजन्संसक्तौ दृश्य पार्थिवाः ।

pārthivāḥ ubhau śvetahayau saṃsaktāu dṛśya bhṛśam siṃhanādān ca śaṅkhaśabdān cakruḥ
38. O king, O descendant of Bharata, when the kings (pārthivāḥ) saw both of them engaged in battle with their white horses, they loudly emitted lion's roars and sounded their conch shells.
द्रौणिर्दुर्योधनश्चैव विकर्णश्च तवात्मजः ।

39. drauṇirduryodhanaścaiva vikarṇaśca tavātmajaḥ ,

39. māriṣa,
drauṇiḥ duryodhanaḥ ca eva tava ātmajaḥ vikarṇaḥ ca raṇe bhīṣmam parivārya yuddhāya sthitāḥ
39. O respected one, Droṇa's son (Drauṇi), Duryodhana, and your son Vikarṇa, having surrounded Bhīṣma in battle, stood ready for the fight.
तथैव पाण्डवाः सर्वे परिवार्य धनंजयम् ।

mahate yuddhāya sthitāḥ tataḥ yuddham avartata
40. Likewise, all the Pāṇḍavas, having surrounded Arjuna (Dhanañjaya), stood ready for the great battle. Then, the battle commenced.
गाङ्गेयस्तु रणे पार्थमानर्छन्नवभिः शरैः ।
तमर्जुनः प्रत्यविध्यद्दशभिर्मर्मवेधिभिः ॥४१॥
41. gāṅgeyastu raṇe pārthamānarchannavabhiḥ śaraiḥ ,

41. Bhīṣma, son of Gaṅgā (Gāṅgeya), assailed Arjuna (Pārtha) in battle with nine arrows. Arjuna, in turn, struck him back with ten arrows that pierced his vital points.
ततः शरसहस्रेण सुप्रयुक्तेन पाण्डवः ।

42. tataḥ pāṇḍavaḥ arjunaḥ samaraślāghī suprayuktena
śarasahasreṇa bhīṣmasya diśaḥ avārayat
42. Then, with a thousand well-aimed arrows, Arjuna (Pāṇḍava), who was glorified in battle, obstructed Bhīṣma's view in all directions.
शरजालं ततस्तत्तु शरजालेन कौरव ।
वारयामास पार्थस्य भीष्मः शांतनवस्तथा ॥४३॥
43. śarajālaṁ tatastattu śarajālena kaurava ,

43. śarajālam tataḥ tat tu śarajālena kaurava

43. kaurava,
tataḥ bhīṣmaḥ śāntanavaḥ tu śarajālena pārthasya tat śarajālam tathā vārayāmāsa
43. O Kaurava, Bhīṣma, the son of Śāntanu (Śāntanava), then repelled that shower of arrows from Arjuna (Pārtha) with his own shower of arrows.
उभौ परमसंहृष्टावुभौ युद्धाभिनन्दिनौ ।

44. ubhau paramasaṃhṛṣṭau ubhau yuddhābhinandinau
kṛtapratikṛtaiṣiṇau nirviśeṣam ayudhyetām
44. Both were extremely delighted and both rejoiced in the battle. They fought without any distinction, each seeking to retaliate against the other's actions.
भीष्मचापविमुक्तानि शरजालानि संघशः ।

arjunasāyakaiḥ bhinnāni śīryamāṇāni adṛśyanta
45. The torrents of arrows, released in multitudes from Bhishma's bow, were seen shattering and breaking apart, struck by Arjuna's arrows.

gāṅgeyaśarununnāni mahītale nyapatanta
46. Similarly, the volleys of arrows released by Arjuna were seen falling onto the ground in parts, having been repelled by the arrows of Bhishma (Gāṅgeya).
अर्जुनः पञ्चविंशत्या भीष्ममार्च्छच्छितैः शरैः ।

ca ratheṣām rathacakre ca viddhvā cikrīḍatuḥ
48. Having pierced each other's horses, banners, chariot poles, and chariot wheels, those two exceedingly powerful vanquishers of foes (Arjuna and Bhishma) engaged in a duel.
ततः क्रुद्धो महाराज भीष्मः प्रहरतां वरः ।

madhusūdanaḥ raṇe sapuṣpaḥ kiṃśukaḥ iva virarāja
50. O king, Madhusudana (Krishna), pierced by the arrows shot from Bhishma's bow, shone in the battle like a Kimshuka tree in full bloom.
ततोऽर्जुनो भृशं क्रुद्धो निर्विद्धं प्रेक्ष्य माधवम् ।

52. tu tau vīrau anyonyasya vadhaṃ prati yatamanau
tadā āhave anyonyam abhisaṃdhātuṃ na aśaknutām
52. But those two heroes, each striving for the other's destruction, were then unable to overpower each other in battle.
मण्डलानि विचित्राणि गतप्रत्यागतानि च ।
अदर्शयेतां बहुधा सूतसामर्थ्यलाघवात् ॥५३॥
53. maṇḍalāni vicitrāṇi gatapratyāgatāni ca ,

53. sūta-sāmarthya-lāghavāt vicitrāṇi
gata-pratyāgatāni ca maṇḍalāni bahudhā adarśayetām
53. They (the two chariots/warriors) displayed various intricate circular maneuvers, going back and forth, in many ways, due to the skill and agility of their charioteers.
अन्तरं च प्रहारेषु तर्कयन्तौ महारथौ ।
राजन्नन्तरमार्गस्थौ स्थितावास्तां मुहुर्मुहुः ॥५४॥
54. antaraṁ ca prahāreṣu tarkayantau mahārathau ,

54. rājan mahārathau ca prahāreṣu antaram tarkayantau
antara-mārgasthau muhur-muhuḥ sthitau āstām
54. And the two great warriors (maharathau), O King, constantly watching for openings (antaram) in their attacks (prahāreṣu), positioned themselves in the intervening space (antara-mārgasthau) and stood firm repeatedly.
उभौ सिंहरवोन्मिश्रं शङ्खशब्दं प्रचक्रतुः ।

55. ubhau siṃharavonmiśram śaṅkha-śabdam pracakratuḥ
tathā eva tau mahārathau cāpa-nirghoṣam cakratuḥ
55. Both sounded their conches, their calls mingled with lion-like roars. Similarly, those two great warriors (maharathau) produced the resonant twang of their bows.
तयोः शङ्खप्रणादेन रथनेमिस्वनेन च ।

56. tayoḥ śaṅkha-praṇādena ratha-nemi-svanena ca
bhūmiḥ sahasā dāritā ca cakampa ca nanāda ca
56. By the blast of their conches and the sound of their chariot wheels, the earth was suddenly rent asunder, it trembled, and it roared.
न तयोरन्तरं कश्चिद्ददृशे भरतर्षभ ।

57. bharatarṣabha tayoḥ balinau śūrau ubhau samare
anyonyasadṛśau kaścit antaram na dadṛśe
57. O best among the Bharatas! No one saw any difference between those two. Both were mighty and heroic in battle, similar to each other.
चिह्नमात्रेण भीष्मं तु प्रजज्ञुस्तत्र कौरवाः ।
तथा पाण्डुसुताः पार्थं चिह्नमात्रेण जज्ञिरे ॥५८॥
58. cihnamātreṇa bhīṣmaṁ tu prajajñustatra kauravāḥ ,

tathā pāṇḍusutāḥ pārtham cihnamātreṇa jajñire
58. There, the Kauravas recognized Bhishma only by his emblem, and similarly, the sons of Pāṇḍu recognized Pārtha only by his emblem.
तयोर्नृवरयो राजन्दृश्य तादृक्पराक्रमम् ।

59. O King! O Bhārata! Seeing such prowess of those two best among men in battle, all beings were struck with wonder.
न तयोर्विवरं कश्चिद्रणे पश्यति भारत ।
धर्मे स्थितस्य हि यथा न कश्चिद्वृजिनं क्वचित् ॥६०॥
60. na tayorvivaraṁ kaścidraṇe paśyati bhārata ,

60. bhārata raṇe tayoḥ kaścit vivaram na paśyati hi yathā
dharme sthitasya kaścit kvacit vṛjinam na paśyati
60. O Bhārata! No one sees any flaw in those two in battle, just as no one, indeed, sees any sin anywhere in one who is established in (natural) law (dharma).
उभौ हि शरजालेन तावदृश्यौ बभूवतुः ।

punar ubhau tūrṇam raṇe prakāśau babhūvatuḥ
61. Indeed, both of them became invisible, shrouded by a hail of arrows. And then, both quickly reappeared in the battle.
तत्र देवाः सगन्धर्वाश्चारणाश्च सहर्षिभिः ।

tayoḥ parākramam dṛṣṭvā anyonyam pratyabhāṣanta
62. There, the gods, along with the gandharvas and charanas, accompanied by the sages, spoke to each other after witnessing the prowess of those two warriors.
न शक्यौ युधि संरब्धौ जेतुमेतौ महारथौ ।

65. Bhishma, who is wielding his bow, stationed on his chariot, and continuously showering arrows in battle, cannot be defeated by the intelligent Arjuna.
तथैव पाण्डवं युद्धे देवैरपि दुरासदम् ।

66. Similarly, Bhishma himself would not dare to conquer the Pandava (Arjuna), the archer, in battle, for Arjuna is difficult to approach or overcome even by the gods.

67. O Lord of men (viśām pate), such words of praise regarding Bhishma (Gāṅgeya) and Arjuna in battle were heard echoing from various places.
त्वदीयास्तु ततो योधाः पाण्डवेयाश्च भारत ।

68. tataḥ tu bhārata tayoḥ tatra parākrame tvadīyāḥ
yodhāḥ ca pāṇḍaveyāḥ ca samare anyonyam jaghnuḥ
68. But then, O Bharata, when those two (Bhishma and Arjuna) displayed their valor, your warriors and the Pandavas' warriors slaughtered each other in that battle.

69. In battle, the heroes of both armies slaughtered each other with sharp-edged swords, shining battle-axes, arrows, and many other weapons of various kinds.
