supratīkakule jātā mahāpadmakule tathā, nareśvara! supratīka-mahāpadmaya-airāvata tathā anya (puṇḍarīka-puṣpadanta-sārvabhauma) diggajānāṃ kuleṣu utpannā bahavaḥ dantāra hastinaḥ api tatra dharaṇyāṃ loṭamānāḥ sma
三阇耶说道：“大王啊，许多具长牙的上等王象——出自苏普拉提迦与摩诃钵摩诸族，又出自爱罗伐多之族，并出自其他著名的‘世界象’诸族，如本荼利迦、普湿波檀多与萨尔瓦婆乌摩——都在那里，在大地上翻滚。”

The verse highlights the moral and existential cost of war: even the most exalted emblems of royal power—great war-elephants of renowned lineages—are reduced to helpless suffering on the ground, implying that reliance on might and pedigree is fragile when conflict is driven by adharma.
Sañjaya reports to King Dhṛtarāṣṭra the battlefield scene where numerous tusked elephants, belonging to celebrated ‘diggaja’ clans (Supratīka, Mahāpadma, Airāvata, and others), have been struck down and are rolling/writhing on the earth amid the carnage.
