With iron goads and elephants prodigious as hills, furnished with shields and weapons and with standards lying about, crushed with shafts; with excellent chariots deprived of steeds and charioteers and their warriors, lying scattered on the field, crushed by elephants and looking like agitated takes; with large bodies of foot-soldiers, armed with various weapons and lying slain on the field, the earth assuming an awful aspect struck terror into the hearts of the cowards.
साकुशैः समहामात्रैः सवर्मायुधकेतुभिः। पर्वतैरिव विध्वस्तैर्विशिखैर्मथितैर्गजैः॥ पृथिव्यामनुकीर्णैश्च व्यश्वसारथियोधिभिः। ह्रदैरिव प्रक्षुभितैर्हतनागै रथोत्तमैः॥ पदातिसंघेश्च हतैर्विविधायुधभूषणैः। भीरूणां त्रासजननी घोररूपाभवन्मही॥
