भीमसेनस्य गदायुद्ध-प्रभावः

The Battlefield Impact of Bhīmasena’s Mace Combat

Devanagari script

विरथा रथिनकश्षान्ये धावमाना: समन्तत: । तत्र तत्रैव दृश्यन्ते सायुधा: साड्दैर्भुजै:,अन्यान्य बहुत-से रथी रथहीन होकर अंगदभूषित भुजाओंमें आयुध धारण किये जहाँ- तहाँ चारों ओर दौड़ते देखे जाते थे

Transliteration

virathā rathinaḥ cānye dhāvamānāḥ samantataḥ | tatra tatraiva dṛśyante sāyudhāḥ sāṅgadair bhujaiḥ ||

Translation

三阇耶说道：还有其他战士也因失了战车，被看见向四面八方奔走。此处彼处，他们手执兵刃，臂戴臂钏而现身——这正是战场紊乱的写照：纵然身份与装备的凭藉崩塌，勇武之气仍未尽灭。
