So long that fearful battle continued, heroic warriors of both sides cut one another down. O king, the battle that was fought between Drona and the Panchala prince was also very fearful.
उभयोः सेनयोः शूरा न्यकृन्तन्त परस्परम्। वर्तमाने तथा घोरे तस्मिन् युद्धे सुदारुणे। द्रोणपाञ्चाल्ययो राजन् महानासीत् समागमः॥
