Sanskrit Text

विष्वक्सेनं तु निर्भिन्नं प्रेक्ष्य पार्थो धनंजयः सत्यसेनं शरैस्तीक्ष्णैर्दारयित्वा महाबलः

English Translation

Beholding the lord of the universe thus pierced, that powerful car-warrior Dhananjaya, the son of Pritha, restrained the course of Satyasena by means of keen shafts. Thereupon, he (Dhananjaya) severed the huge head, that ornamented with ear-rings, of that monarch, who stood at the head of the army, from his body by means of whetted broadheaded arrows.
