Shloka 52
अन्तराच्छिद्यमानानि शरीराणि शिरांसि च | निपेतुर्दिक्षु सर्वासु गजाश्वरथयोधिनाम्,हाथी, घोड़े तथा रथोंपर बैठकर युद्ध करनेवाले सैनिकोंके शरीर और मस्तक बीच- बीचसे कटकर सब दिशाओंमें गिर रहे थे
antarāc chidyamānāni śarīrāṇi śirāṃsi ca | nipetur dikṣu sarvāsu gajāśvarathayodhinām ||
三阇耶说道：战势愈烈，那些乘象、乘马、驾车而战的勇士，身躯与断首在冲杀之间被斩为两段，向四方坠落——此乃战争不分青红皂白的暴烈之象，亦是凡入战者皆须付出的惨烈代价。

The verse underscores the grim reality of warfare: once violence is unleashed, it spreads without discrimination, producing widespread suffering. It implicitly invites reflection on the ethical weight of battle even when framed within kṣatriya duty.
Sañjaya describes the battlefield scene where warriors fighting from elephants, horses, and chariots are struck down; their bodies and heads are severed and fall across all directions, conveying the intensity and carnage of the combat.
