Adhyāya 36: Ghora-yuddha-varṇanam
A Clinical Description of the Intensified Engagement
न च तान् गणयामासु: सर्वे देवेन मोहिता: । प्रस्थितं सूतपुत्रं च जयेत्यूचुर्नराधिपा: । निर्जितान् पाण्डवांश्वैव मेनिरे तत्र कौरवा:,परंतु दैवसे मोहित होनेके कारण उन सबने उन उत्पातोंकों कुछ गिना ही नहीं। सूतपुत्रके प्रस्थान करनेपर सब राजा उसकी जय-जयकार बोलने लगे। कौरवोंको यह विश्वास हो गया कि अब पाण्डव परास्त हो जायूँगे
na ca tān gaṇayāmāsuḥ sarve devena mohitāḥ | prasthitaṃ sūtaputraṃ ca jayety ūcur narādhipāḥ | nirjitān pāṇḍavāṃś caiva menire tatra kauravāḥ |
Sañjaya said: “Deluded by fate, they all paid no heed to those ominous portents. When the charioteer’s son (Karna) set forth, the kings cried out, ‘Victory to him!’ Thereupon the Kauravas became convinced that the Pāṇḍavas had already been overcome.”
