The Dust-Obscured Battle and Mutual Charges

मध्यंदिने यथा5<दित्यं तपन्तमिव तेजसा । न शेकुः पाण्डवेयस्य योधा भीष्म निरीक्षितुम्‌,उस समय भीष्म रणभूमिमें धूमरहित अग्निके समान खड़े थे। जैसे दुपहरीमें अपने तेजसे तपते हुए सूर्यकी ओर देखना कठिन है, उसी प्रकार पाण्डव-सेनाके सैनिक भीष्मकी ओर दृष्टिपात करनेमें भी असमर्थ हो गये

sañjaya uvāca | madhyaṃdine yathādityaṃ tapantam iva tejasā | na śekuḥ pāṇḍaveyasya yodhā bhīṣmam nirīkṣitum ||

Sañjaya said: As it is hard to gaze upon the sun blazing at midday, so the warriors of the Pāṇḍavas could not even look upon Bhīṣma. Standing on the battlefield like a smokeless fire, he radiated such overpowering splendor that their courage and composure faltered before his presence.
