Sanjaya said When your troops and those of the Pandavas were placed in battle array, that great car-warrior Dhananjaya made a great slaughter by cutting down with his arrows many leaders of car-warriors; your troops though thus slaughtered in the battle by the son of Pritha who resembled the destroyer himself at the end of a Yuga, yet fought with the Pandavas with perseverance. Desiring to win blazing glory and making death their final goal with minds undirected to anything else, they broke the Pandava ranks in many places, but their ranks also were in many places broken.
संजय उवाच ततो व्यूढेष्वनीकेषु तावकेषु परेषु च। धनंजयो स्थानीकमवधीत् तव भारत॥ शरैरतिरथो युद्धे दारयन् रथयूथपान्। ते वध्यमानाः पार्थेन कालेनेव युगक्षय॥ धार्तराष्ट्रा रणे यत्नात् पाण्डवान् प्रत्ययोधयन्। प्रार्थयाना यशो दीप्तं मृत्युं कृत्वा निवर्तनम्॥ एकाग्रमनसो भूत्वा पाण्डवानां वरूथिनीम्। बभञ्जुर्बहुशो राजंस्ते चासज्जन्त संयुगे॥
