मारुतेनेव महता मेघानीकं व्यदीर्यत । प्रकाल्यमानं तत् सैन्यं नाशकत् प्रतिवीक्षितुम्,जैसे बड़े वेगसे उठी हुई वायु बादलोंके समूहको छिन्न-भिन्न कर देती है, उसी प्रकार दुर्मीषणकी सेनाका व्यूह टूट गया और वह अर्जुनके खदेड़नेपर इस प्रकार जोर-जोरसे भागने लगी कि उसे पीछे फिरकर देखनेका भी साहस न हुआ
Transliteration
māruteneva mahatā meghānīkaṃ vyadīryata | prakālyamānaṃ tat sainyaṃ nāśakat prativīkṣitum ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: As a mighty wind rends a mass of clouds, so that battle-array was torn apart. Driven hard and scattered in flight, the army could not even muster the courage to turn back and look behind.
