Translation

Dijo Vaiśampāyana: Aquellos dos guerreros, encendidos de ira, siguieron combatiendo—ambos resplandecientes en el campo de batalla. En aquel encuentro iban desatando, cada uno a su turno y con la debida medida, diversas armas divinas, manteniendo la conducta de una guerra justa aun en medio de su cólera.
