O king, the foot-soldiers, that protected the elephants, that possessed broad chests, that were capable of effectually striking the foe, armed with pikes, bows, bright battle-axes, maces, clubs, arrows, lances, shafts and heavy iron-mounted bludgeons and swords of the brightest polish, ran in every direction with the firm resolve of taking one another's life.
गजानां पादरक्षास्तु व्यूढोरस्काः प्रहारिणः। ऋष्टिभिश्च धनुर्भिश्च विमलैश्च परश्वधैः॥ गदाभिर्मुसलैश्चैव भिन्दिपालैः सतोमरैः। आयसैः परिपैश्चैव निस्त्रिंशैविमलैः शितैः॥ प्रगृहीतैः सुसंरब्धा द्रवमाणास्ततस्ततः। व्यदृश्यन्त महाराज परस्परजिघांसवः॥
