Traducción

Then Drauni, laughing and answering him with cold disdain, showered him with those consecrated, blazing-tipped arrows. Like serpents with fiery mouths spewing flame in battle, Partha [Bhima] was showered [with arrows], as if with golden sparks. His appearance in battle, O king, was that of Bhimasena as a mountain covered with fireflies at day's end.

Comentario

Bhima, showered with fiery arrows, is likened to a mountain swarmed with fireflies at sunset — an image of terrible beauty concealing danger. It is telling how calm Ashvatthaman is: he laughs, for he knows the power of his weapon. The verse teaches that the composure of one who truly knows is unshaken before another's fury; yet the fatal beauty of this sight also reminds us that behind the brilliance of the weapon lies an all-devouring fire that does not distinguish valor.
