Sanjaya said: "Drauni, Bhurishravas, Shalya, Chitrasena, and the son of Samyamani, O honorable one, fought against Saubhadra. People saw him alone, locked in combat with five mighty tigers among men, like a lion cub among elephants. No one equaled Karshni in prominence, in courage, in onslaught, in mastery of weapons, or in swiftness. Seeing his own son in battle, this tamer of foes, acting with such valor, Partha, intent and ready, let out a lion's roar. Your warriors, O lord of men, seeing how your grandson was afflicting that army, surrounded him on all sides. But Saubhadra, undespairing and overpowering his enemies, advanced with radiance and strength to meet the army of the Dhartarashtras. As he fought the enemies, his great bow could be seen moving with lightning speed and shining like the sun. With a single arrow he pierced Drauni, with five he struck Shalya, and with eight he cut down the banner of Samyamani's son. The great spear with a golden shaft, serpent-like and sharp, hurled by Saumadatti, he split with a winged arrow. Warding off the hundreds of terrible arrows loosed by Shalya, the heir of Arjuna killed his horses in the battle. The enraged Bhurishravas, Shalya, Drauni, Samyamani's son, and Shala could not approach Karshni, because of the strength of his arms."
