ततः सैन्येषु राजेन्द्र शब्द: समभवन्महान्,खुरशब्दनिपातैश्न तुमुल: सर्वतो5भवत् । राजेन्द्र! तदनन्तर सारी सेनाओंमें रणभेरीकी भारी आवाज, मृदंगोंकी ध्वनि, हाथियोंके चिग्घाड़ने, घोड़ोंके हिनहिनाने और धरतीपर उनकी टाप पड़नेसे चारों ओर अत्यन्त भयंकर शब्द गूँजने लगा
Translation
Then, O king of kings, a great uproar arose among the armies; from the pounding fall of hooves and the thunder of their trampling, a tumult swelled on every side. O king of kings, thereafter the heavy blare of the war-drums, the resonance of the mṛdaṅga, the trumpeting of elephants, the neighing of horses, and the beat of their hooves upon the earth made a most dreadful din resound in all directions.
