अगम्यरूपा पृथिवी मांसशोणितकर्दमा | भारत! वहाँ कर्णद्वारा मारे गये हाथियों और घोड़ोंकी लाशोंसे पृथ्वीपर चलना असम्भव हो गया। रक्त और मांसकी कीच जम गयी
agamyarūpā pṛthivī māṃsaśoṇitakardamā | bhārata! tatra karṇadvārā māritaiḥ hastibhiś ca aśvaiś ca śavasaṃghaiḥ pṛthivyāṃ gamanaṃ aśakyaṃ babhūva | rakta-māṃsayoḥ kardamaḥ sañjajñe |
