c5.s7.296.4

Seeing Arjuna's weapons baffled by Karṇa, Bhīma urged Arjuna to put forth his strength (ae'), and so did Kṛṣṇa (aζ'). Arjuna bowed to Brahmān and invoked the Brāhma weapon, which could be applied by the wind alone; Karṇa baffled it; urged by Bhīma, Arjuna applied a second Brāhma weapon, which caused a great carnage among the Kaurava troops (description). Karṇa & Bhīmasena, etc. (aη'). Arjuna shot at Karṇa and Śalya, and slew Sabhāpati, etc. The Kauravas urged Karṇa to slay Arjuna. Yudhishṭhira appeared in order to witness the encounter. Arjuna's bowstring broke; Karṇa took advantage of the interval to hit Arjuna, etc. (aθ'). Karṇa employed as arrows five snakes that had sided with Takṣaka's son [i.e. Aṣvasena, at Khāṇḍava]; they penetrated Kṛṣṇa's body, entered the earth, and, having bathed [in Bhogavatī], returned to Karṇa, but were cut off by Arjuna, who then covered Karṇa's chariot with showers of arrows and slew 2,000 Kurus, who had been urged by Duryodhana to fight. The Kurus fled, leaving Karṇa to fight singly with Arjuna (VIII, 89). Karṇa baffled Arjuna's weapon; Karṇa and Arjuna shot at each other dense showers of arrows. The snake Aṣvasena, who was hostile to Arjuna, was passing his time in the nether region, having escaped from the conflagration at Khāṇḍava; recollecting the death of his mother he now soared up and entered into Karṇa's quiver in the shape of an arrow. Karṇa and Arjuna were fanned and sprinkled with fragrant sandal water by many Aps.
