रथर्षभाणामुग्राणां संनिपातममानुषम् । उन उग्र महारथियोंका वह घोर, अत्यन्त आश्चर्यजनक और अमानुषिक संग्राम वहाँ सब लोग सब ओरसे देखने लगे
ratharṣabhāṇām ugrāṇāṁ sannipātam amānuṣam |
サンジャヤは言った。「そこでは、猛き第一の車戦士たちのあいだに、人ならぬほどの、畏怖と驚嘆を呼ぶ激突が起こった。あまりに恐ろしく、あまりに驚くべきゆえに、周囲の者たちは四方からそれを見つめ続けた。」

The verse underscores how war can escalate beyond ordinary human limits—becoming ‘amānuṣa’—and invites reflection on the ethical cost of heroic violence: even when performed by the greatest warriors, battle can appear terrifying and morally unsettling to onlookers.
Sañjaya describes a sudden, intense collision between the foremost and fiercest chariot-warriors. The encounter is so extraordinary and dreadful that people watch it from all directions, emphasizing the scale and shock of the fighting.
