उन दोनों रणदुर्मद वीर महारथियोंने वर्षाकालके दो मेघोंके समान आकाशको बाणसमूहोंसे व्याप्त कर दिया ।। प्रकृत्या घोररूपं तदासीद् घोरतरं पुन: । रात्रिश्व भरतश्रेष्ठ योधानां युद्शशालिनाम्

Translation
ਉਹ ਦ੍ਰਿਸ਼ ਆਪਣੇ ਸੁਭਾਵ ਕਰਕੇ ਹੀ ਘੋਰ ਸੀ, ਫਿਰ ਹੋਰ ਵੀ ਡਰਾਉਣਾ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ; ਕਿਉਂਕਿ, ਹੇ ਭਰਤ-ਸ਼੍ਰੇਸ਼ਠ, ਯੁੱਧ-ਨਿਪੁਣ ਯੋਧਿਆਂ ਉੱਤੇ ਰਾਤ ਛਾ ਗਈ।
