So also, O ruler of earth, O sire, the mighty elephants, having advanced before some of the car-warriors, that had their armours on and also having seized them well dragged them down most suddenly on all sides of that dreadful field of battle, that presented a very awful aspect. Many mightiest clephants, that were slaughtered with the shafts, fell down upon the ground even as the summits of a mountain drop down upon the surface of the earth, when broken down by thunder.
तथा सावरणान् कांश्चित्तत्र तत्र विशाम्पते। रथान् नागाः समासाद्य परिगृह्य च मारिष॥ व्याक्षिपन् सहसा तत्र घोररूपे भयानके। नाराचैर्निहताश्चापि गजाः पेतुर्महाबलाः॥ पर्वतस्येव शिखरं वज्ररुग्णं महीतले।
