Droṇa’s Renewed Advance toward Yudhiṣṭhira; Fall of Satyajit and Allied Recoil (द्रोणस्य युधिष्ठिरप्रेप्सा—सत्यजितः पतनम्)
Devanagari script
तेषां शैलोपमै: कार्यरनिपतद्धिः समन्ततः । आहता सहसा भूमिश्चकम्पे च ननाद च,उनके पर्वताकार शरीरोंके गिरनेसे सब ओरसे आहत हुई भूमि सहसा काँपने और आर्तनाद करने लगी

teṣāṁ śailopamaiḥ kāyair nipatadbhiḥ samantataḥ | āhatā sahasā bhūmiś cakampe ca nanāda ca ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: As those warriors, whose bodies were like mountains, fell down on every side, the earth—struck all around—suddenly began to tremble and to resound with a cry of anguish. The scene underscores the moral weight of war: even the ground seems to protest the mass destruction wrought by human fury and fate.
