They [in] the sky, adorned with gems, shone by the thousands, like swarms of locusts — arrows, loosed by Karna. Loosed [from] the bow of the son of Adhiratha, the flying arrows [merged so that] one long, tall, issuing arrow seemed to be seen. Like a cloud covering a mountain with streams of water, Karna, enraged, covered Bhima with showers of arrows. There, O Bharata, your sons beheld, together with the Kurus, the strength, valor, might, and resolve of Bhima.

The stream of arrows is so dense that it seems a single unbroken shaft: the fearsome wholeness of a deadly wave. It is telling that under this downpour the sons of Dhritarashtra behold not a fall but the 'strength-valor-resolve' of Bhima: steadfastness under the onslaught itself becomes the spectacle. The verse teaches that greatness of spirit reveals itself most clearly under the storm; and one whom they strive to bury, yet who stands, shows onlookers what true firmness is.
