Sanjaya said When the division of the two armies strong in numbers and arranged in order of battle, met one another, all the unretreating heroes, O Bharata, then rushed to battle keeping in view the regions of Brahma. In that pell-mell fight, neither similar divisions fought with their similar, not car-warriors with car-warriors, nor foot-soldier with their foot-soldiers.
संजय उवाच समं व्यूढेष्वनीकेषु भूयिष्ठेष्वनिवर्तिनः। ब्रह्मलोकपराः सर्वे समपद्यन्त भारत॥ न ह्यनीकमनीकेन समसज्जत संकुले। रथा न रथिभिः सार्ध पादाता न पदातिभिः॥
