वातायमानैस्तुरगैर्युगासक्तैस्ततस्तत:
vātāyamānaiḥ turagair yugāsaktaiḥ tatas tataḥ
Wika ni Sañjaya: Pagkaraan, ang mga kabayong nakapamatok ay sumugod na wari’y itinutulak ng hangin, humahagibis mula sa isang dako tungo sa iba—larawan ng walang tigil na paggalaw sa gitna ng siksik at bigat ng digmaan.

Sañjaya describes rapid battlefield movement—horses, already harnessed to the yoke, racing swiftly from one point to another—conveying the intensity and constant repositioning typical of chariot warfare.
