Droṇasya raudra-prayogaḥ

Droṇa’s intensified assault and the Pāṇḍava response

आर्तनादेन घोरेण वसुधा समकम्पत । तदनन्तर सहसा महारथी द्रोणाचार्य आगे बढ़े। फिर तो भयंकर आर्तनादके साथ सारी पृथ्वी काँप उठी ।। ततस्तुमुलमाकाशमावृणोत्‌ सदिवाकरम्‌,इसके बाद प्रचण्ड वायुके वेगसे बड़े जोरकी धूल उठी, जो रेशमी वस्त्रोंके समुदाय-सी प्रतीत होती थी। उस तीव्र एवं भयंकर धूलने सूर्यसहित समूचे आकाशको ढक लिया। आकाशमें मेघोंकी घटा नहीं थी, तो भी वहाँसे मांस, रक्त तथा हड्डियोंकी वर्षा होने लगी

sañjaya uvāca | ārtanādena ghoreṇa vasudhā samakampata | tadanantaraṃ sahasā mahārathī droṇācāryo 'gre babhūva | tatastumulaṃ ākāśam āvṛṇot sadivākaram |

Sañjaya said: With a dreadful cry of anguish, the earth shook. Immediately thereafter, Droṇācārya—the great chariot-warrior—surged to the fore. Then, in the tumult, a thick pall rose and covered the sky, veiling even the sun. Though there were no storm-clouds, the battlefield’s horror seemed to overturn the natural order itself, as if flesh, blood, and bones were raining down—an ominous sign of war’s adharma and the suffering it unleashes.
