Sañjaya said: In that host were gathered men from many lands and peoples—Videha and Magadha; Aṅga, Vaṅga, and Kaliṅga; the Śakas; the Mallas; the Bāhlikas; the Ābhīras; the Pañcālas; the Kekayas; and countless others—coastal dwellers and mountain folk, those of the inner hills and the outer hills, and multitudes of the Andhras. There were also the Puṇḍras, Bhargas, Kirātas, Yāmunas, Niṣādas, Niṣadhas, Ānartas, and the fierce peoples of the south-west; the Kuntalas, Kosalas, Śūrasenas, Kāśmīras, Sindhu-Sauvīras, Gāndhāras, Abhīsāras, and many more—barbarian tribes, forest-dwellers, and those from remote frontiers. Thus Sañjaya portrays the vast, many-kingdomed gathering of warriors, emphasizing the immense scale of the war and the way the conflict draws in peoples from across the whole known world, regardless of their varied customs and origins.
