तत्रासीत् सुमहद् युद्ध द्रोणस्थाथ परैः सह । घोरे तमसि मग्नानां निघध्नतामितरेतरम्,वहाँ शत्रुओंके साथ द्रोणाचार्यका बड़ा भारी संग्राम हुआ। सब लोग घोर अन्धकारमें डूबकर एक-दूसरेपर घातक प्रहार कर रहे थे

tatrāsīt sumahad yuddhaṃ droṇas tathā paraiḥ saha | ghore tamasi magnānāṃ nighnatām itaretaram ||

Sañjaya said: There, a very great battle took place, with Droṇa engaged against the enemy host. In the dreadful darkness, men, plunged into blindness and confusion, struck one another down with deadly blows—war’s frenzy overwhelming discernment and restraint.
