Within a very short time, the earth, that was covered with a mire consisting of flesh and blood and also by which the currents of blood flowed continuously, became, O lord of earth, impassable with the shattered cars and with the fallen elephants and the horses lying there about and also with men slaughtered (in the battle), O great monarch.
रथैर्भग्नैर्महाराज वारणैश्च निपातितैः॥ हयैश्च पतितस्तत्र नरैश्च विनिपातितः। अगम्यरूपा पृथिवी क्षणेन समपद्यत॥
