गौरुडव्यूह-रचना तथा अर्धचन्द्र-प्रत्यव्यूह
Garuḍa Array and the Ardhacandra Counter-Formation
राजपुत्रान् रथोदारानवधीच्छतसंघश: । इसी प्रकार उस महायुद्धमें श्वेत भी कौरवोंका संहार कर रहे थे। उन्होंने सैकड़ों श्रेष्ठ रथी राजकुमारोंका संहार कर डाला
sañjaya uvāca | rājaputrān rathodārān avadhīc chata-saṅghaśaḥ | evaṃ tasmin mahāyuddhe śveto 'pi kauravān saṃharan babhūva | sa śataśo vara-rathī rāja-putrān nihatyāpatat |
サンジャヤは言った――彼は王子たち、すなわち高貴なる戦車武者を、幾百と討ち取った。かくしてその大戦において、シュヴェータもまたクル族(カウラヴァ)を斬り伏せ、優れた戦車の王子たちを数百も滅ぼした。

The verse highlights the grim ethical tension of kṣatriya-dharma: warriors are bound to fight, yet war rapidly becomes indiscriminate destruction where even noble princes fall in masses, revealing the tragic cost of conflict.
Sañjaya reports that Śveta is actively slaughtering Kaurava forces, killing hundreds of high-born princes and distinguished chariot-warriors during the great battle.
