Devanagari script

इस प्रकार श्रीमह्याभारत शल्यपर्वमें शल्यका युद्धविषयक तेरहवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ

Transliteration

sañjaya uvāca | cakrāṇāṃ patatāṃ cāpi yugānāṃ ca dharātale samadṛśyanta pārthasya rathamārgeṣu bhārata |

Translation

Sañjaya sagte: O Bharata, entlang der Spur von Pārthas Wagen sah man auf dem Boden gefallene Räder und Joche. Das Schlachtfeld, vom Vormarsch Arjunas aufgewühlt, zeigte Haufen zertrümmerten Wagenzeugs und abgetrennter Kriegerreste — ein Bild, das hervorhebt, wie schnell kriegerische Tüchtigkeit Stolz und Besitz in Verderben verwandelt und wie der Schwung des Krieges eine sichtbare Spur des Verlustes hinterlässt.
