English: Having thus spoken, Drona's son hurled at that scion of the Satvata race an excellent arrow of the effulgence of the solar rays, like Hari (Indra) hurling the thunder-bolt against Vritra.
Sanskrit: स तं निर्भिद्य तेनास्तः सायकः सशरावरम्। विवेश वसुधा भित्त्वा श्वसन् बिलमिवोरगः॥
English: That arrow hurled by him, penetrating through the armour and the body of Satyaki, entered the earth like a hissing serpent entering its hole.
