Translation

Sañjaya berkata: Di gelanggang pertempuran yang luas itu, kedua-dua pahlawan yang menghunus pedang unggul tampak bersinar cemerlang—seperti dalam perang antara para dewa dan asura, Śakra (Indra) dan Jambha yang perkasa kelihatan gemilang. Perbandingan itu meninggikan keagungan adegan tempur, serentak mengingatkan kemuliaan dan harga ngeri keganasan.
