Translation

Sinabi ni Sañjaya: Sa pagitan ng dalawang dakilang-loob—ang hari ng Madra at ang bayani ng Pāṇḍava—habang sila’y nagbubuhos sa isa’t isa ng mga salvos ng palaso, sumiklab ang isang napakalakas na tunog: ang pag-ugong at pagpitik ng kanilang mga bagting, na wari’y dagundong ng vajra ni Indra.
