Huge-bodied steeds bore to battle Yuyutsu, who alone, among the sons of Dhritarashtra, had sided with the Pandavas, (deserting his own brothers). Steeds, plump, decked with golden caparisons and of the hue of the stalk of paddy, bore to that dreadful battle, Vardhakshemi of great activity.
एकस्तु धार्तराष्ट्रेभ्यः पाण्डवान् यः समाश्रितः। तं बृहन्तो महाकाया युयुत्सुमवहन् रणे॥ पलालकाण्डवर्णास्तु वार्धक्षेमि तरस्विनम्। ऊहुः सुतुमुले युद्धे हयाः कृष्णाः स्वलंकृताः॥
