Adhyāya 92: Irāvanta-śoka, punaḥ-pravṛttiḥ saṅgrāmasya
Arjuna’s grief and the battle’s renewed intensity
कूजतां क्रन्दतां चैव स्तनतां चैव भारत । अनिशं शुश्रुवे शब्द: क्षुत्क्लिष्टानां नूगामिव,भरतनन्दन! भूखसे पीड़ित मनुष्योंकी भाँति कूजते, क्रन्दन करते और गरजते हुए योद्धाओंका शब्द निरन्तर सुनायी देता था
kūjatāṁ krandatāṁ caiva stanatāṁ caiva bhārata | aniśaṁ śuśruve śabdaḥ kṣut-kliṣṭānāṁ nūgām iva ||
Sañjaya said: “O Bhārata, there was heard without cease the tumult of warriors—chirping cries, wails, and thunderous roars—like the confused clamour of a multitude of people tormented by hunger.”
