ततः प्रववृते युद्ध पृथिव्यामेकवीरयो: । रणमध्ये द्वयोरेवं सुमहल्लोमहर्षणम्,इसके बाद उस रणभूमिमें भूमण्डलके इन दोनों अनुपम वीरोंका ऐसा भयंकर संग्राम हुआ, जो रोंगटे खड़े कर देनेवाला था
tataḥ pravavṛte yuddhaṃ pṛthivyām ekavīrayoḥ | raṇamadhye dvayor evaṃ sumahallomaharṣaṇam ||
ໄວສັມປາຍະນະ ກ່າວວ່າ: ຈາກນັ້ນ ໃນສະໜາມຮົບ ການດວນດາບຂອງວີລະບຸລຸດສອງຜູ້ທີ່ຫາຜູ້ເທົ່າທຽມບໍ່ໄດ້ ກໍເລີ່ມຂຶ້ນ. ກາງສົງຄາມ ການປະທະຂອງເຂົາທັງສອງ ຂະຫຍາຍເປັນການຮົບອັນໃຫຍ່ຫຼວງ ແລະເຮັດໃຫ້ຂົນລຸກ—ຈົນຮູ້ສຶກຮາວກັບວ່າແຜ່ນດິນເອງກໍສັ່ນໄຫວດ້ວຍພະລັງແຫ່ງຄວາມກ້າຫານ ແລະຈິດໃຈອັນໝັ້ນຄົງ.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the epic ideal of kṣatriya-dharma: when conflict becomes unavoidable, warriors meet face-to-face with courage and steadfastness. It frames battle not as chaos alone, but as a grave arena where valor, discipline, and resolve are tested.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that a fierce duel has begun between two outstanding warriors. Their fight, occurring in the thick of the battlefield, becomes extraordinarily intense and awe-inspiring—described as loma-harṣaṇa, ‘making the hair stand on end.’
