Then Drona, Bhishma, Saindhava Jayadratha, Purumitra, Vikarna, and Shakuni, son of Subala — these warriors, hard to withstand in battle and mighty as lions — broke the ranks of the Pandavas again and again. Just so Bhimasena, the rakshasa Ghatotkacha, Satyaki, Chekitana, and the sons of Draupadi, O Bharata, put to flight your warriors and your sons together with all the kings, as the gods put the danavas to flight. Thus these bulls among kshatriyas, slaying one another in battle, crimsoned with blood and terrible in form, shone like danavas. The heroes of both armies, having overcome their foes, were seen as great commanders, like planets in the sky. Then your son Duryodhana, with a thousand chariots, advanced in battle against the Pandavas and against the rakshasa Ghatotkacha. So too all the Pandavas, together with a great army, went out to meet Drona and Bhishma, those two heroic subduers of enemies, in battle. Kiritin, in wrath, advanced against the mighty, foremost kings, while the son of Arjuna and Satyaki advanced against the army of Saubala. Then once more the hair-raising battle broke out afresh, between your men and the enemy, both sides seeking victory in the fight.

The chapter ends on a new wave of collision: neither side is yet broken for good. The war moves in tides, where a breakthrough on one flank at once meets an answer from the other.
