23. Abduction
Devabrata's valour and expertise
In archery were well-known.
This was the occasion when
He was tested out in the open.
He had challenged the emperor
Single handed, for a duel
For not inviting Vichitravirya
His brother, for the swayamvara.
A minister who spoke about
Fisherwoman feigning as queen
Was answered by his sword
Right before the emperor's eyes.
Eerie silence reigned in the palace
The entire coterie stood dumbfounded
Before they could wink their eyes
Bhisma started off with the princesses
His fierce arrows quelled the army
Of Kaashi, known for its numbers,
Gallantry and modern weapons,
Like wild fire burning down a forest.
