Shloka 25
सादिनश्न हयान् राजन् रथिनश्न महारणे । हस्त्यारोहान् हयारोहा रथिन: सादिनस्तथा,राजन! उस महायुद्धमें घुड़सवार योद्धा घुड़सवारों तथा रथियोंपर भी चढ़ दौड़े । इसी प्रकार अश्वारोही हाथीसवारों तथा रथियोंपर भी टूट पड़े
sādināś ca hayān rājan rathināś ca mahāraṇe | hastyārohān hayārohā rathinaḥ sādinās tathā ||
三阇耶说道：大王啊，在那场大战中，骑兵冲击骑兵，甚至直扑车战之士。同样，乘马的勇士也猛攻象骑与车战者；而战车之众与步兵亦轮番推进攻势。于是战斗化为近身混战，诸兵种彼此相击，片刻不息。

Educational Q&A
The verse is primarily descriptive rather than doctrinal: it highlights how war collapses neat divisions of arms into a confused melee, implying the moral gravity and uncontrollable momentum of violence once battle is joined.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the different divisions—infantry, cavalry, charioteers, and elephant-riders—are charging and counter-charging each other in the great fight, with horsemen attacking horsemen, elephant-riders, and chariot-warriors, and the other arms responding in kind.
