And surrounded by a mighty army, furnished with bows, endowed with wondrous strength, and accomplished in arms— the foremost of those acquainted with weapons-each burning for victory, with mighty cars yoked with steeds, covered with golden net-works, bearing pennons and standards, and having sounds like those proceeding from clouds, exultingly stretching with immeasurable prowess bows decked with gold, resembling clouds surcharged with lightning, those warriors sallied out. Learning that the servants had been slain, their (i.e. the mothers of the sons of the councillors) mothers, along with their friends and kindred, were overpowered with grief.
महद्बलपरीवारा धनुष्मन्तो महाबलाः। कृतास्त्रास्त्रविदां श्रेष्ठाः परस्परजयैषिणः॥ हेमजालपरिक्षिप्तैर्ध्वजवद्भिः पताकिभिः। तोयदस्वननिर्घोषैर्वाजियुक्तैर्महारथैः॥ तप्तकाञ्चनचित्राणि चापान्यमितविक्रमाः। विस्फारयन्तः संहृष्टास्तडिद्वन्त इवाम्बुदाः॥ जनन्यस्तास्ततस्तेषां विदित्वा किंकरान् हतान्। बभूवुः शोकसम्भ्रान्ताः सबान्धवसुहृज्जनाः॥
