Daiva–Puruṣakāra Discourse and the Elephant-Corps Engagement (भीमगजानीक-सम्भ्रान्ति)
तत: शब्देन महता विननाद महास्वन: । तेन नादेन वित्रस्ता कलिड्रानां वरूथिनी
tataḥ śabdena mahatā vinanāda mahāsvanaḥ | tena nādena vitrastā kaliṅgānāṃ varūthinī ||
Sañjaya berkata: Lalu sang kesatria bersuara dahsyat menggelegar dengan pekik yang menggetarkan. Oleh auman itu, barisan tempur Kaliṅga pun diliputi kepanikan.
