ततः प्रासाशनिगदाभिंडिपालपरश्वधैः । शक्तिभिः पट्टिशैः शूलैर्मुद्गरैः कणयैर्गुडैः
tataḥ prāsāśanigadābhiṃḍipālaparaśvadhaiḥ | śaktibhiḥ paṭṭiśaiḥ śūlairmudgaraiḥ kaṇayairguḍaiḥ
پھر نیزوں، تلواروں، گداؤں، بھِنڈی پالوں، کلہاڑیوں، شکتیوں، پٹّیشوں، شُولوں، مُدگر اور بھاری گولوں سے وہ ایک دوسرے پر بے امان وار کرنے لگے۔
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages
Scene: A storm of weapons: spears thrust, swords flash, maces swing, bhindipālas and axes arc through the air, tridents and hammers descend; the frame is crowded with diagonals and impact points.

No tīrtha is mentioned; the focus is on the battle’s weaponry.
None.
