रथैश्व सर्वतो भग्नै: किड़किणीजालभूषितै: । वाजिभिश्ष हतैर्बाणै: स्रस्तजिद्लैः सशोणितै:,सब ओर क्षुद्रधघण्टिकाओंके जालसे विभूषित टूटे-फूटे रथ पड़े थे। बाणोंसे मारे गये घोड़े खूनसे लथपथ हो जीभ निकाले ढेर हो रहे थे

Sinabi ni Sañjaya: “Sa paligid, nakahandusay ang mga wasak na karwaheng pandigma, pinalamutian ng mga lambat ng maliliit na kampanilyang kumakalansing. Ang mga kabayong tinamaan ng palaso ay bumagsak na parang bunton—nakalawit ang dila, at ang katawan ay nababalutan ng dugo.”

The verse offers a stark reminder of the ethical and human (and animal) cost of war: glory and martial display collapse into ruin, urging reflection on how dharma is tested amid violence and ambition.
Sañjaya describes the battlefield aftermath: shattered, ornamented chariots lie scattered, and horses pierced by arrows fall bloodied with tongues hanging out—an intense visual of the carnage at Kurukṣetra.
