रथं ससूतं सहयं च कज्चित् कश्रिद्रथी मृत्युवशं निनाय । निनाय चाप्येकगजेन कश्रिद् रथान् बहून् मृत्युवशे तथाश्वान्,किसी रथीने किसी एक रथीको घोड़ों और सारथिसहित मौतके हवाले कर दिया तथा किसी दूसरे वीरने एकमात्र हाथीके द्वारा बहुत-से रथियों और घोड़ोंको मौतका ग्रास बना दिया
rathaṁ sasūtaṁ sahayaṁ ca kaścit kaścid rathī mṛtyuvaśaṁ nināya | nināya cāpy ekagajena kaścid rathān bahūn mṛtyuvaśe tathāśvān |
サンジャヤは言った。戦の喧騒のただ中で、ある戦車武者は別の戦車武者を死の支配へと追いやった――戦車も、御者（サーラティ）も、従者も、ことごとく共にである。さらに別の勇士は、ただ一頭の象をもって、多くの戦車を、さらには馬までも死の掌中へと追い立てた。そこには、武の冴えが瞬く間に広き破滅へと転ずる、戦の容赦なき奔流が映し出されていた。

The verse highlights the grim ethical reality of war: individual valor can rapidly become mass destruction, and life on the battlefield is precarious—drawn swiftly under the dominion of death. It implicitly invites reflection on the cost of conflict and the fragility of embodied life.
Sañjaya describes intense fighting where one chariot-warrior kills another along with his entire chariot-team, and elsewhere a warrior, aided by a single elephant, causes the death of many chariot-fighters and horses—emphasizing the scale and speed of slaughter.
