সঞ্জয়ে ক’লে—ঘোঁৰাবোৰে আন ঘোঁৰাবোৰক দেখি পৰস্পৰ স্পৰ্ধাত হ্ৰেষাধ্বনি কৰিবলৈ ধৰিলে। সেই মুহূর্ততে পদ্মনয়ন পুণ্ডৰীকাক্ষ শ্ৰীকৃষ্ণে ভ্ৰূকুটি চুলাই শল্যৰ ফালে এনেদৰে চালে, যেন চকুৰ বাণেৰে তেওঁক বিদ্ধ কৰিছে।

Sañjaya describes the battlefield atmosphere: the horses of opposing sides neigh at each other in rivalry. Simultaneously, Kṛṣṇa turns a stern, piercing gaze toward Śalya, portrayed poetically as if striking him with arrows from the eyes.
