Shloka 14
स नागराज: सह राजसूनुना पपात रक्त बहु सर्वत: क्षरन् । महेन्द्रवजप्रहतो 5म्बुदागमे यथा जल गैरिकपर्वतस्तथा
sa nāgarājaḥ saha rājasūnunā papāta rakta-bahu sarvataḥ kṣaran | mahendra-vajra-prahato ’mbudāgame yathā jala-gairika-parvatas tathā ||
サンジャヤは言った。その象の王は王子とともに倒れ、四方から夥しい血を流した。雨雲の来たる折にマヘーンドラ（インドラ）の金剛に打たれたかのように、赤土の山が水を噴き出して崩れるごとく崩れ落ちた。

The verse highlights the stark moral reality of war: once violence is unleashed, even the mighty fall, and suffering spreads inescapably. The vivid simile serves as a reminder of the heavy karmic and human cost of battlefield choices.
Sañjaya describes a catastrophic fall: the ‘lord of serpents’ collapses along with a prince, bleeding heavily. The scene is compared to a red-ochre mountain struck like by Indra’s thunderbolt when rains arrive, with water (here, blood) pouring down.
