SOMADATTA'S END |
|
| After this
exchange of words, the battle began, and the combat was as between two fierce lions. Their
horses were killed, their bows were broken, and both were rendered chariotless. They were now standing on the ground fighting with swords and shields, till their shields were hacked to bits and their swords broken. Then they were locked in a deadly embrace without weapons. They rolled together on the ground; they leaped up and they sprang on each other; they fell down again and so the combat went on for a long while. Partha's mind was at the timeconcentrated on Jayadratha's movements and he did not watch this combat between Satyaki and the son of Somadatta. But his charioteer Krishna was deeply concerned about Satyaki's fate, for he knew about the family feud. "Dhananjaya," said Krishna, "Satyaki is exhausted. Bhurisravas is going to kill him now." |
