Droṇa’s Rebuke to Duryodhana after Jayadratha’s Fall (द्रोणेन दुर्योधनं प्रति प्रत्युक्तिः)
पाण्डवानां महाबाहो तावकानां च संयुगे । रुद्रस्याक्रीडसदृश: संहार: सर्वदेहिनाम्,राजन! महाबाहो! फिर तो वहाँ युद्धस्थलमें पाण्डवों तथा आपके सैनिकोंमें महान् रोमांचकारी संग्राम होने लगा। जो रुद्रकी क्रीडाभूमि (श्मशानके सदृश) सम्पूर्ण देहधारियोंके लिये संहारका स्थान बन गया था
pāṇḍavānāṃ mahābāho tāvakānāṃ ca saṃyuge | rudrasyākrīḍasadṛśaḥ saṃhāraḥ sarvadehinām, rājan |
Sañjaya said: O mighty-armed king, in that battle between the Pāṇḍavas and your own forces, the field became like Rudra’s playground—a place of destruction for all embodied beings. The fighting rose into a terrifying, all-consuming slaughter, as if the very ground were a cremation-field where life is cut down without distinction.
