Transliteration
apare mohitā mohāt tamevābhimukhā yayuḥ | pāṇḍavānāṃ raṇe yodhāḥ paralokaṃ gatāḥ pare |
Translation
Sañjaya said: Others, deluded by confusion, turned again to face Droṇācārya himself. In the battle, many warriors of the Pāṇḍavas, rushing forward in that bewilderment, were slain and departed to the next world—showing how, in war, loss of clarity and judgment swiftly becomes the cause of ruin.
