Then, O king, your warriors, wishing to protect Arjuni in battle, swiftly surrounded the chariot of the king of the Madras and took their stand around it. Duryodhana, Vikarna, Duhshasana, Vivimshati, Durmarshana, Duhsaha, Chitrasena, Durmukha, Satyavrata, and Purumitra, O Bharata, stood in battle guarding the chariot of the lord of the Madras. Against them, releasing weapons of many kinds, the enraged Bhimasena, Parshata Dhrishtadyumna, the sons of Draupadi, Abhimanyu, and the two Pandavas, sons of Madri, advanced joyfully, each desiring to kill the other. Thus they met in battle, O king, because of your ill counsel. As this terrible battle of ten chariot-warriors raged on, the chariot-warriors of both your side and the enemy's became spectators. The great chariot-warriors, releasing weapons of many kinds and roaring at one another, joined in combat. All of them, intent and inflamed with fury, desiring to slay one another, released great astras and clashed in rage. The enraged Duryodhana, in the great battle, swiftly and forcefully pierced Dhrishtadyumna with four sharp arrows; Durmarshana struck him with twenty, Chitrasena with five, Durmukha with nine, Duhsaha with seven, Vivimshati with five, and Duhshasana likewise with three. Parshata, the tormentor of foes, in return pierced each of them with twenty-five arrows, O lord of kings, displaying the lightness of his hand. Abhimanyu, in that battle, pierced Satyavrata and Purumitra, O Bharata, each with ten arrows. And the two sons of Madri, gladdeners of their mother, covered their uncle in battle with swarms of arrows; it was like a wonder. Then Shalya, O great king, struck his nephews, the best of chariot-warriors, with many arrows, as they sought to repay him in kind; but though covered with arrows, the two sons of Madri did not waver.

Sanjaya again inserts the cause directly into the narrative: this clash of kinsmen arose from Dhritarashtra's ill counsel. It is especially bitter that Nakula and Sahadeva fight against their uncle Shalya: war tears apart bonds of kinship once dharma has already been broken.
