Translation
Sañjaya berkata: Kedua-dua pahlawan yang cemerlang itu bersarung baju zirah dan berpedang di pinggang. Kuda mereka putih, dan mereka dihiasi sangkha; masing-masing dilengkapi dengan tabung anak panah yang unggul. Indah dipandang, mereka tampil sebagai pejuang kereta perang yang tiada tandingan—setara dalam kelengkapan, namun digerakkan oleh tekad untuk menundukkan satu sama lain.
