Translation

Dijo Sañjaya: Cuando aquellos dos ejércitos, abrasados por el dolor, se abatían mutuamente en una matanza recíproca, el campo de batalla se volvió un espectáculo de sufrimiento intenso y de violencia implacablemente correspondida: cada bando, a la vez, agente y víctima en el mismo ciclo de guerra.
