Strewn over with Upashkaras, Adishthanas, long poles and with shattered Akshasas and broken wheels and yokes, thousands in number, with arrows, bows, swords, fallen standards; with backless bows and shafts scattered about, with the bodies of slain Kshatriyas, horses and elephants, the field of battle looking fierce soon became impassable.
सोपस्करैरधिष्ठानैरीषादण्डैश्च बन्धुरैः। अक्षैविमथितैश्चनर्बहुधा पतितैर्युगः॥ शक्तिचापासिभिश्चैव पतितैश्च महाध्वजैः। चर्मचापशरैश्चैव व्यवकीर्णैः समन्ततः॥ निहतैः क्षत्रियैरश्वैर्वारणैश्च विशाम्पते। अगम्यरूपा पृथिवी क्षणेनासीत् सुदारुणा॥
