Translation

Sanjaya said: “The radiant and valiant Dhrishtadyumna, after routing that army, shone forth like Indra among the hosts of gods. Having broken the enemy’s formation and scattered their forces, he stood out in the midst of his warriors with the same commanding brilliance that Indra displays among the celestials.”
