Translation
Sañjaya said: Then a dreadful melee arose between them and him, as those warriors of immeasurable prowess, locked in close combat, kept unleashing continuous showers of arrows. The scene underscores how, in the press of war, valor and skill intensify into relentless violence, where duty to one’s side is pursued through uncompromising martial force.
