This day you will behold in battle a terrible massacre. Auspicious, mighty and gold-decked armors of heroes will be splintered into pieces with arrows of close knots; the tops of standards, the tomaras and bows, and resplendent and sharp lances, and dares of the effulgence of gold and the caparisons of elephants shall this day be torn and broken by the enraged diadem decked Arjuna.
पश्यायैतन्महाघोरे संयुगे वैशसं महत्। हेमचित्राणि शूराणां महान्ति च शुभानि च।॥ कवचान्यवदीर्यन्ते शरैः संनतपर्वभिः। छिद्यन्ते च ध्वजाग्राणि तोमराश्च धनूंषि च॥ प्रासाश्च विमलास्तीक्ष्णाः शक्त्यश्च कनकोज्ज्वला:। वैजयन्त्यश्च नागानां संक्रुद्धेन किरीटिना।॥
