Vaishampayana said: "The Pandava repelled that one [Indra], pouring down water, with a shower of arrows -- Vibhatsu, displaying superior weapons; with arrows the Pandava covered the whole of Khandava from all sides, and turned that rain away from the forest; and not a single creature could escape from there, as the sky was covered with flying arrows hurled by Savyasachin."

Here is the image of one kept by the Lord: he is unconquerable. Thus the scripture reveals the might of Arjuna; and this feat is terrible, for not a single creature escapes alive.
