Sātyaki-praveśaḥ and Duryodhana-saṃnipātaḥ

Sātyaki’s passage and Duryodhana’s mass engagement

Devanagari script

सर्वमाविग्नमभवतन्न प्राज्ञायत किंचन । सैन्येन रजसा ध्वस्ते निर्मर्यादमवर्तत,वहाँका सब कुछ उद्विग्न हो रहा था। सेनाद्वारा उड़ायी हुई धूलसे ध्वस्त होनेके कारण किसीको कुछ ज्ञात नहीं होता था। वहाँ मर्यादाशून्य युद्ध चल रहा था

Transliteration

sañjaya uvāca |

sarvam āvignam abhavat tan na prājñāyata kiñcana |

sainyena rajasā dhvaste nirmaryādam avartata ||

Translation

Sañjaya said: Everything there became thrown into agitation and confusion; nothing at all could be clearly made out. With the dust raised by the armies obscuring the field, the fighting went on without restraint—warfare stripped of all bounds and propriety.
