None of them succeeded in weakening the other. And severed heads, some with beautiful noses, some with upper lips wounded, some adorned with ear-rings, some cut into twain about the well-arranged hair, were seen rolling in the field covered with dust. And in that battle field were seen the limbs of Kshatriya heroes cut off by shafts and lying like trunks of Sala trees. And spread over with heads adorned with car-rings and arms smeared with sandal looking like the bodies of snakes the battlefield appeared in beauty. The charioteers approached the charioteers striking each other.
न शेकुरभिसंरब्धाः शूरान् कर्तुं पराङ्मुखान्। कृत्तोत्तरोष्ठं सुनसं कृत्तकेशमलंकृतम्॥ अदृश्यत शिरश्छिन्नं रजोध्वस्तं सकुण्डलम्। अदृश्यंस्तत्र गात्राणि शरैश्छिन्नानि भागशः॥ शालस्कन्धनिकाशानि क्षत्रियाणां महामृधे। नागभोगनिकाशैश्च बाहुभिश्चन्दनोक्षितैः॥ आस्तीर्णा वसुधा भाति शिरोभिश्च सकुण्डलैः। रथिनां रथिभिश्चात्र सम्प्रहारोऽभ्यवर्तत॥
