Many of the foot-soldiers, who were all on sudden running away in that dreadful battle, leaving behind their ornaments, immediately hemmed in upon the field. Then, indeed, the most powerful elephant-warriors, having considered the indications of victory, caused their elephants to take up those handsome ornaments and penetrate the fallen warriors with their tusks.
पदातीनां तु सहसा प्रदुतानां महाहवे। उत्सृज्याभरणं तूर्णमवप्लुत्य रणाजिरे॥ निमित्तं मन्यमानास्तु परिणाम्य महागजाः। जगृहुर्बिभिदुश्चैर चित्राण्याभरणानि॥
