Translation
Sinabi ni Sañjaya: Nang magsiksikan na ang labanan hanggang sa halos magkadikit at naging pinakamatindi ang sagupaan, ang mga mandirigmang iyon—na tinalikuran na ang pagkapit sa buhay—ay nagpahayag: “Hindi na maaaring makipaglaban dito gamit ang mga karwaheng pandigma; lalo na kung malalaking elepante!”
