Seeing them all fallen, Duryodhana grew afraid and, enraged, addressed the rakshasa of terrible appearance — the great archer Arshyashringi, the sorcerer, subduer of foes, the enemy of Bhimasena from the earlier killing of Baka: "See, hero, how this mighty son of Phalguna, master of illusion, has done me this dreadful harm — the destruction of my army. You can go wherever you wish, dear one, and are skilled in the weapon of illusion, and you bear enmity toward Partha; therefore slay him in battle." Answering, "So be it," the rakshasa of terrible appearance set out with a lion's roar to where the young son of Arjuna stood. He was surrounded by his own troops, skillful mounted warriors, fighters with gleaming spears, heroes on the attack, and he wished to kill the mighty Iravan in battle. But the enraged, swift and valiant Iravan, slayer of foes, blocked the path of the rakshasa who wished to kill him. Seeing Iravan advancing, the exceedingly mighty rakshasa hastened to employ illusion. By his magic he created just as many horses, mounted by terrible rakshasas bearing spears and maces in their hands. These two thousand furious attackers, having clashed together, swiftly sent one another to the world of the dead. When this army had perished, the two, both frenzied in battle, stood facing each other in the fight, like Vritra and Vasava.
