Translation
Sañjaya said: The warriors, clad in golden cuirasses and drenched with blood, stood packed tightly together—like clusters of rain-clouds shot through with lightning. Thus did splendor and slaughter mingle on the field: the brilliance remained, yet it was stained by the moral cost of war.
