Droṇa’s Withdrawal, Death, and the Kaurava Rout (द्रोणनिधन-प्रसङ्गः)
हतैश्न शूरैर्दिवमारुहद्धि- रायोधनं दिव्यकल्पं बभूव । देवताओं, गन्धर्वों, यक्षों, असुरेन्द्रों और अप्सराओंके समुदायसे भरा हुआ वह युद्धस्थल वहाँ मारे जाकर स्वर्गलोकपर आरूढ़ होनेवाले शूरवीरोंके द्वारा दिव्यलोक-सा जान पड़ता था
hataiḥ śūraiḥ divam āruhadbhir hi rāyodhanaṃ divya-kalpaṃ babhūva | devatā-gaṇḍharva-yakṣāsurendra-apsarā-samūha-saṃpūrṇaṃ tad yuddhasthalaṃ tatra hatair divam āruhadbhiḥ śūrair divyaloka-sadṛśaṃ babhūva ||
Sañjaya said: That battlefield, filled with companies of gods, Gandharvas, Yakṣas, lords of the Asuras, and Apsarases, appeared like a divine realm; for the heroes who fell there were believed to ascend to heaven, and thus the scene took on the splendor of the otherworld.
