c5.s7.295.6

Śikhaṇḍin did not wish to strike Kṛpa while the latter had no chariot: Aśvatthāman rescued Kṛpa. Bhīma scorched the Kuru troops with his arrows (VIII, 75). The Bhārata host fled before Bhīma, who said to his charioteer Viṣoka that he was anxious about Arjuna and Yudhiṣṭhira; requested by Bhīma, Viṣoka took an estimate of his weapons. Bhīma once more addressed Viṣoka, saying that he would that day slay all the Kurus or himself succumb, etc. (ψψψ). Viṣoka pointed out to Bhīma that Arjuna was returning to battle (www). Bhīma promised to give Viṣoka fourteen villages, 100 female slaves, and twenty chariots for this agreeable intelligence (VIII, 76). Arjuna and Bhīma attacked the Kaurava army with great vigour (description). Duryodhana told his troops to slay Bhīma, who made a formidable carnage among them (description). Śakuni (urged by Duryodhana) + his brothers & Bhīma; Cakuni was brought away by Duryodhana, who retreated; the troops fled away to Karṇa (VIII, 77). Requested by Śaṃjaya related: In the afternoon Karṇa assailed the Somakas, and Bhīma the Dhārtarāṣṭra troops. Karṇa assailed the Pāñcālas, etc. (β′); the Pāṇḍavas encompassed him on all sides; Śikhaṇḍin, etc. (γ′), & Karṇa, who vanquished them. Cedis and Matsyas & Karṇa, who checked them; D., Si., and Cā. were gratified; the Pāṇḍava troops fled, and were attacked by the Dhārtarāṣṭra archers. Duryodhana rejoiced; Duryodhana, etc. (δ′), slew the Pāṇḍava troops; similarly the Pāṇḍava heroes Dhṛṣṭadyumna, etc.
