Quote

“Then the son of Sahadeva, ascertaining the foe
to be on the point of leaving the field in
consequence of the brothers, cut off, with a
razor-faced arrow, the head of that illustrious
warrior. That head, decked with ear-rings of gold,
fell on the earth and adorned the field like the sun
of brilliant effulgence that rises at the end of the
Yuga. Beholding the head of the high-souled son
of Somadatta thus fallen on the ground, thy
troops, O king, overcome with fear, fled in all
directions.”
– Mahabharata, Book 7: Drona Parva: Section 107
