कर्णस्य दानप्रतिज्ञा–शल्योपदेश–वाक्ययुद्धम्
Karna’s Gift-Vows, Shalya’s Counsel, and the Battle of Words
यत्रा भ्यगच्छन् समरे पञ्चाला: कौरवै: सह,उस युद्धमें समस्त पांचाल कौरवोंके साथ भिड़ गये। पैदल पैदलोंके, हाथी हाथियोंके, रथी रथियोंके और घुड़सवार घुड़सवारोंके साथ युद्ध करने लगे
sañjaya uvāca | yatrābhyagacchan samare pañcālāḥ kauravaiḥ saha | padātayaḥ padātibhiḥ hastinaḥ hastibhiḥ rathinaḥ rathibhiḥ aśvārohā aśvārohābhiḥ yoddhum ārabdhāḥ |
Sañjaya said: There, in that battle, the Pañcālas closed in and engaged the Kauravas. Foot-soldiers fought foot-soldiers, elephants met elephants, chariot-warriors clashed with chariot-warriors, and horsemen battled horsemen—each arm of the army confronting its counterpart as the war tightened into direct, ordered combat.
