In the battle, mighty and enraged Bharadvaja, as if laughing, struck Shaineya with sharp arrows in the collarbone. Then enraged Bhimasena, protecting Satyaki from Drona, the best of weapon-bearers, struck Bharadvaja. Then Drona, Bhishma, and Shalya, all enraged, showered Bhimasena with arrows in the fight, O venerable one. Then Abhimanyu and the sons of Draupadi, growing enraged, pierced with sharp arrows all those warriors with weapons raised. And the great archer Shikhandin, in the great battle, advanced to meet the enraged, charging, and mighty Bhishma and Drona. The hero firmly grasped his thunder-voiced bow and swiftly showered them with arrows, hiding the sun. But the grandsire of the Bharatas, upon encountering Shikhandin, turned aside in the fight, remembering his former womanhood. Then Drona, urged on by your son, charged at Shikhandin in battle, protecting Bhishma. But Shikhandin, meeting Drona, the best of weapon-bearers, turned aside from him in the fight as though from the blazing fire at the end of an age. Then your son, O lord of men, drawing near to Bhishma, protected him with great force, seeking high glory. Likewise the Pandavas, placing Dhananjaya in front, advanced straight upon Bhishma, having firmly resolved on victory, O king. That battle became as terrible as the battle of the gods with the danavas, between those who ever longed for victory and for supreme, wondrous glory.

Around Bhishma a knot of mutual protection forms: Drona shields him from Shikhandin, Duryodhana strengthens the defense, and the Pandavas place Arjuna at the front. Bhishma remains the center of the battle, but his refusal to fight Shikhandin already reveals the future crack in this defense.
