Transliteration

tato ’bhavad yuddham atīva dāruṇaṃ tavāhitānāṃ tava sainikaiḥ saha | rathāśvamātaṅga-vināśanaṃ tathā yathā surāṇām asuraiḥ purābhavat ||

Translation

അതിനുശേഷം നിങ്ങളുടെ ശത്രുക്കളും നിങ്ങളുടെ സൈന്യവും തമ്മിൽ അത്യന്തം ദാരുണമായ യുദ്ധം പൊട്ടിപ്പുറപ്പെട്ടു; അത് രഥങ്ങളെയും കുതിരകളെയും ആനകളെയും നശിപ്പിക്കുന്ന സംഹാരമായിരുന്നു. ആ യുദ്ധം പുരാതനകാലത്തെ ദേവാസുരസംഗ്രാമംപോലെ തോന്നി।
