śithilī savato jātā ghoraparṇā bhayānakā / karaṭaiḥ kaṭukālāpairvaloki divākaraḥ / ārāviṣu karoṭīnāṃ koṭayaścāpatanbhuvi
Translation
Со всех сторон всё словно обмякло и ослабло; страшная листва потемнела, наводя ужас. Солнце было видно сквозь слонов, издававших горькие, резкие крики. А на поле брани черепа — коти за коти — падали на землю.
