Then the dreadful field of battle resembled the clouded firmament filled with various vapoury forins and the earth being scattered over with the slaughtered princes and the Kshatriyas, possessed of great strength, as well as with the fallen elephants and horses, became as impassable in the battle as the ground strewn over with numerous hills.
गन्धर्वनगराकारं घोरमायोधनं तदा॥ निहतै राजपुत्रेश्च क्षत्रियैश्च महाबलैः। हस्तिभिः पतितैश्चैव तुरङ्गैश्चाभवन्मही॥ अगम्यरूपा समरे विशीर्णैरिव पर्वतैः।
