dharmarājo'pi saṃprekṣya dhṛṣṭadyumnavṛkodarau |
mūrdhni caitāvupāghrāya saṃhṛṣṭaḥ śibiraṃ yayau || 59 ||

And Bhishma the son of Santanu excited with wrath, began to slaughter the troops of the high-souled Pandavas with his straight shafts. And with his arrows he began to despatch the combatants of the Panchalas to the domains of Yama. And the grandsire, having thus broken the ranks of the Pandavas at last withdrew his troops and retired, O king, to his encampment. And king Yudhishthira also, beholding both Dhrishtadyumna and Vrikodara, smelt their heads, and filled with joy, retired to his tents."
