Transliteration

praśāmyata rajo bhaumaṁ śīghratvād anilasya atha ca |

Translation

Sañjaya said: The dust that had risen from the earth subsided again—driven down by the swift rush of the wind. Some of it was flung upward for a moment, and some, soaked with the warriors’ blood, settled back upon the ground. Thus the thick cloud of dust over the battlefield grew quiet.
