Alambusa in battle, letting out a tremendous roar and threatening the maharatha Abhimanyu again and again, rushed at him with speed, shouting: "Stand! Stand!" Saubhadra, O king, roaring like a lion again and again, charged at the mighty archer Arshyashringi, the deadliest enemy of his own father. Then, on their chariots, the swift man and the rakshasa, the best of charioteers, met each other in battle like a deva and a danava — the finest of rakshasas, master of illusion, and the son of Phalguna, knower of celestial weapons. After this, Karshni, great king, pierced Arshyashringi in battle with three sharp arrows and wounded him again with five. The enraged Alambusa, in turn, swiftly pierced Karshni's chest with nine swift arrows, as though goading a great elephant. Then the nimble night-wanderer began to press the son of Arjuna hard in battle with a thousand arrows, O Bharata. At this the enraged Abhimanyu loosed ninety sharp, jointed arrows into the broad chest of the rakshasa. They swiftly entered him, piercing his body to the vital points, and the best of rakshasas, wounded all over by them, shone, O king, like a mountain covered in blooming kimshuka flowers. Bearing golden-shafted arrows within him, the mighty lord of rakshasas blazed like a mountain aflame. Then the mighty Arshyashringi, in fury, covered Karshni, who was equal to Mahendra, with feathered arrows. The sharp shafts he loosed, like the staff of Yama, pierced Abhimanyu through and plunged into the earth. In the same way the golden-adorned arrows loosed by the son of Arjuna pierced Alambusa through and sank into the ground. Saubhadra, drawing close to the rakshasa in battle, forced him with his curved arrows to turn away, as Shakra once turned Maya."

The duel is built on equal tension: the rakshasa's illusion against Abhimanyu's celestial weapons, roar answered by lion's roar, arrows meeting arrows. But the first shift falls to Saubhadra: he is the one who forces Alambusa to turn away.
