Translation

Disse Sañjaya: Alguns cavalos, tendo tomado apenas metade de um carro, vagavam em círculos por todas as dez direções. No campo de batalha, uns arrastavam carros quebrados, sem rodas; e muitos outros, levando só meio carro, rodopiavam por toda parte, mostrando como a guerra reduz a arte marcial ordenada a um caos de ruína.
