But Satyaki destroyed it completely and advanced to attack Bhurisravas. Bhurisra- vas, who was a powerful opponent, put Satyaki's men to fight, and pressedSatyaki himself so fiercely that he was in distress.

Satyaki's ten sons saw their father's plight and sought to relieve him by launching an offensiveagainst Bhurisravas, but Bhurisra- vas undaunted by numbers, opposed the combined attack and was not to be shaken.

His well aimed darts broke their weapons and they were all slain, strewn on the field like so many tall trees struck down by lightning. Satyaki, wild with rage and grief, drove forward at a furious pace to slay Bhurisravas.
