Shwetha shot an arrow against Rukmartha who fell and swooned. The charioteer loyally took him away from the battlefield.

Seeing the valor of Shwetha, many warriors including Duryodhana and Bhishma came for the protection of Shalya. The great Grandsire immediately showered arrows on Abhi, Bhima, Dhristadyumna, Shwetha, and Satyaki. Sikandi (who was born as a female, but turned to male due to a boon, brother of Draupadi)  appeared to support Shwetha.

Bhishma took another bow and pierced Shwetha again and Dhristadyumna attacked him with a lot of arrows. Shwetha stood fierce unmovable and again broke the bow of Grandsire.

Seeing Bhishma fighting weakly in front of Shwetha, Duryodhana was in distress. Bhishma with fury took again a big bow and shot 7 big arrows that destroyed the chariot of Shwetha making him fall. Shwetha immediately picked a dart that was golden in color and resembled a snake shape and shot it against him. Bhishma failed it.

Shwetha filled with rage, said, "Oh, might Bhishma, today I will become your Yama" and he attacked Bhishma with mace which destroyed Bhishma's chariot.

Drona and Kripa came to the aid of Bhishma and they fought with Pandavas and Satyaki. Bhishma smilingly rushed towards Shwetha, struck Dhristadyumna and Satyaki with 100's arrows.
