And frightful was the field of battle, with darts, and other arms; and clubs, and javelins, and lances, and other weapons, and with broken cars, and war-horses, and mad horses slain, and monkeys and Rākşasas, and wheels and Akşas, and yokes and standards, broken and scattered over the ground; and swarms of jackals began to range on all sides of the monkeys and the Raksasas; and Kabandhas began to rise in that terrific encounter, resembling the encounter of the gods and the Asuras.
भल्लैश्चान्यैर्गदाभिश्च शक्तितोमरसायकैः। अपविद्धैश्चापि रथैस्तथा साङ्ग्रामिकैहयैः।॥ निहतैः कुञ्जरैर्मतैस्तथा वानरराक्षसैः। चक्राक्षयुगदण्डैश्च भग्नैर्धरणिसंश्रितैः।॥ बभूवायोधनं घोरं गोमायुगणसेवितम्। कबन्धानि समुत्येतुर्दिक्षु वानररक्षसाम्।। विमर्दे तुमुले तस्मिन्देवासुररणोपमे॥
