Les uns furent broyés et brisés ; d’autres même périrent. Certains tombèrent dans de profonds évanouissements. Quelques-uns se livrèrent à l’amère récrimination et au blâme, tandis que d’autres sombrèrent dans la détresse et la souffrance.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narrative style)
Scene: After the crash, bodies lie broken; some are crushed, some lifeless, some unconscious; others argue and reproach amid dust and debris—an intense tableau of chaos and grief.
