अपश्यन् रथिनो युद्ध विचित्र चित्रयोधिनाम् । रथके विचित्र पैंतरोंसे विचरनेवाले तथा विचित्र युद्ध करनेवाले उन महारथियोंका विचित्र रथोंसे व्याप्त वह विचित्र युद्ध वहाँ सब रथी दर्शककी भाँति देखने लगे
sañjaya uvāca | apaśyan rathino yuddhaṃ vicitraṃ citrayodhinām | rathake vicitra-paitarair vicarantam tathā vicitra-yuddha-kāriṇām | tān mahārathīnām vicitra-rathaiḥ vyāptaṃ tad vicitra-yuddhaṃ tatra sarve rathinaḥ darśakavat paśyanti sma |
Sañjaya said: The chariot-warriors beheld that astonishing battle—filled with fighters of many kinds. With chariots moving in intricate feints and maneuvers, and with those great champions engaging in varied and artful modes of combat, the field became crowded with wondrous chariots. There, the chariot-fighters watched that strange, spectacle-like warfare almost as onlookers—momentarily arrested by its sheer complexity and display.
