O best of men, thousands of citizens, consisting of Brahmanas, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras, and also women and even old men, came out and assembled there to witness the fight. The crowed became so great that it grew to be a solid mass of human beings with no space between two persons.
तयोर्युद्धं ततो द्रष्टुं समेताः पुरवासिनः। ब्राह्मणा वणिजश्चैव क्षत्रियाश्च सहस्रशः॥ शूद्राश्च नरशार्दूल स्त्रियो वृद्धाश्च सर्वशः। निरन्तरमभूत् तत्र जनौधैरभिसंवृतम्॥
