Shloka 183

Devanagari script

सैन्येन रजसा मूढं सर्वमन्धमिवा भवत्‌ । उस अवस्थामें न आकाशका, न पृथ्वीका और न दिशाओंका ही पता लगता था। सेनाद्वारा उड़ायी हुई धूलसे आच्छादित होकर वहाँ सब कुछ अन्धकारमय हो गया था

Transliteration

sainyena rajasā mūḍhaṃ sarvam andham ivābhavat |

Translation

Sañjaya said: The entire field was bewildered by the dust raised by the armies, becoming as if blind with darkness. In that condition, neither sky nor earth nor even the directions could be discerned—so completely did the swirling dust shroud everything.
