Sañjaya dit : Puis, de nouveau, sur le flanc du sud, s’éleva un combat farouche entre des guerriers aux prouesses diverses et éclatantes—signe que la lutte ne cessait de se déplacer d’un quartier à l’autre, entraînant tous les camps plus avant dans les exigences implacables et la tension morale de la guerre.

Sañjaya reports that fighting flares up again on the southern side of the battlefield, where many notable and varied warriors engage in combat.
