Translation
Sañjaya said: In that tumult of battle, chariot-warriors fought alongside chariot-warriors; horsemen engaged horsemen; mighty, rutting elephants clashed with the foremost elephant-lords; and foot-soldiers met foot-soldiers. Thus the armies confronted their equals in each arm of war, intensifying the violence of the conflict.
