sañjaya uvāca | cakrāṇāṃ patatāṃ cāpi yugānāṃ ca dharātale samadṛśyanta pārthasya rathamārgeṣu bhārata |
三阇耶说道：噢婆罗多，在帕尔塔战车行进的辙迹旁，地上可见坠落的车轮与轭木。战场被阿周那的推进所翻搅，显出成堆破碎的车具与被斩断的战士残肢——此景昭示：武勇之盛能何等迅疾地将骄矜与占有化为废墟，而战争的势头必在大地上留下可见的损失之痕。

Sanjaya describes the battlefield scene around Arjuna’s advance: along the route of Arjuna’s chariot, fallen wheels and yokes lie scattered on the ground, indicating intense fighting and the destruction of chariots and warriors in his wake.
