भग्नैषाश्च रथाः पेतुर्भग्नाक्षाः शकलीकृताः । पत्तयः कोटिशः पेतुस्तुरंगाश्च सहस्रशः
bhagnaiṣāśca rathāḥ peturbhagnākṣāḥ śakalīkṛtāḥ | pattayaḥ koṭiśaḥ petusturaṃgāśca sahasraśaḥ
Bumagsak ang mga karwaheng pandigma na wasak ang timon—nabali ang mga ehe at nadurog sa pira-piraso. Ang mga kawal na naglalakad ay nalugmok na parang di-mabilang, at ang mga kabayo’y libu-libo ang bumagsak.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages
Scene: A devastated chariot-field: splintered chariots with broken axles, scattered wheels, fallen standards; countless foot-soldiers strewn across dust; horses collapsing amid flying debris.
Mass destruction in war is portrayed to highlight the heavy cost of adharma and the fleeting nature of martial glory.
