Dhritarashtra–Sanjaya dialogue and the midday battle escalation
Devanagari script
महाश्वेताश्वयुक्तेन भीमवानरकेतुना । महता मेघनादेन रथेनातिविराजता,वे जिस रथपर आरूढ़ होकर आये थे, वह अत्यन्त शोभायमान था। उसमें श्वेतवर्णके विशाल घोड़े जुते हुए थे। उसपर भयंकर वानरसे उपलक्षित ध्वजा फहरा रही थी और उसके पहियोंसे मेघके समान गम्भीर शब्द हो रहा था
Translation
The chariot upon which Arjuna rode shone with surpassing splendor. Great white horses were yoked to it; above it streamed a banner marked by a fearsome ape, and from its wheels arose a deep roar like the rumbling of thunderclouds.
