With banners, with armlets, with armors, weapons, and standards, / their pestle-like tusks pulled out, excellent elephants fell. / Their limbs mangled by strikes of arrows, resplendent with chowries and crests, / horses resembling the steeds of the sun were struck down along with their riders. / With agitated horses, terrified dānavas, and chariots, / that frenzied host appeared like an ocean of swimming sea-monsters. / With garments, parasols, diadems, and jeweled earrings, / with necklaces, half-necklaces, armlets, finger-rings, and exquisite garlands, / and with severed hands, faces, and fallen feet, / the battlefield, thus covered, shone like the sky filled with risen stars. / Clad in garments of flowing blood, adorned with manifold ornaments, / the earth, with limbs covered in red garments, appeared like Death itself. / [Critical apparatus]
