Devanagari script
प्रादुरासीद् रजस्तीव्रं न प्राज्ञायत किंचन । ध्वजानां धूयमानानां सहसा मातरिश्वना
Transliteration
prādurāsīd rajastīvraṃ na prājñāyata kiṃcana | dhvajānāṃ dhūyamānānāṃ sahasā mātariśvanā ||
Translation
Dijo Sañjaya: «De pronto se alzó una nube de polvo feroz, de modo que nada podía distinguirse con claridad. Los estandartes, azotados y sacudidos de golpe por el viento, eran arrojados con violencia: un presagio funesto en medio del inminente choque de los ejércitos.»
