Transliteration

sa bhinnavarmā srastāḍyaḥ prabhraṣṭa-mukuṭaḥ

Translation

Sañjaya said: He was seen with his armour shattered, his limbs slack and weakened, and his crown fallen—an image of a warrior brought low by the violence of battle, reminding that in war even the proud and well-equipped are subject to sudden reversal and the stripping away of outward splendour.
