Droṇa’s Renewed Advance toward Yudhiṣṭhira; Fall of Satyajit and Allied Recoil (द्रोणस्य युधिष्ठिरप्रेप्सा—सत्यजितः पतनम्)
सादितै: सगजारोहै: सपताकै: समन्तत: । मातद्जैः शुशुभे भूमिर्विकीर्णैरिव पर्वतै:,वहाँ मारे जाकर पताकाओं तथा गजारोहियोंसहित सब ओर गिरे हुए हाथियोंसे आच्छादित हुई वह भूमि ऐसी शोभा पा रही थी, मानो इधर-उधर बिखरे हुए पर्वतखण्डोंसे व्याप्त हो रही हो
sāditaiḥ sagajārohaiḥ sapatākaiḥ samantataḥ | māta-dvaiḥ śuśubhe bhūmir vikīrṇair iva parvataiḥ ||
Sañjaya said: All around, the ground shone, strewn with elephants brought down in battle—fallen together with their riders and banners. Covered by those massive bodies, the earth looked as though it were spread over with scattered fragments of mountains, a grim splendor born of the war’s ruin.
