Let him come at me like the wind assailing the mountains, till, with my keen arrows, O son of Kunti, I quell his rage and desire for battle and take his life. Yonder come the Kauravas. I shall (after staying Satyaki) achieve this great task of the Pandavas that has presented itself. Or let Phalguna resist all the enemies in battle. As regards myself, I will fell this one's head with my arrows. He taketh me for the armless Bhurisravas in battle. Release him. Either I will slay him or he will slay me.' Hearing these words of the Panchala prince, the mighty Satyaki held fast in Bhima's clasp, sighing like a snake, began to tremble. Both of them, endued with great might and possessed of powerful arms, began to roar like a couple of bulls. Then Vasudeva, O sire, and king Yudhishthira the just, with great effort, succeeded in pacifying those heroes. Having pacified those two great bowmen, those two heroes, whose eyes had become blood-red with rage, all the Kshatriyas (of the Pandava) army proceeded against the warriors of the hostile army for battle.' > — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa - [Previous: 7.169.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.7.169.54) - [Next: 7.169.56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.7.169.56) - [Up: 7.169](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.7.169) ## Translations (1) - [The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa~en-ganguli.7.199.5) — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, English ## Other recensions (1) - [Vulgate (Nīlakaṇṭha's text)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*vulgate.7.198.60) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.7.169.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.7.169.55) · Pramāṇa
