Seeing his army repeatedly broken by the pramathas, / Andhaka himself mounted his chariot and rushed at the gaṇas. / Under those blows of thunderbolt-like arrows, like mountains struck by thunderbolts, / the pramathas fell on the earth like clouds drained of water. / In their chests, thighs, cheeks, / backs, arms, and bellies, / pierced by arrows, the pramathas wailed like elephants. / Going, coming, not yet arrived, arrived, or standing far off— / whatever he saw, wherever he saw it, he pierced it deeply with arrows.
