ववर्ष चात्र पर्जन्यो मांसशोणितवृष्टिमान् । व्युक्षन्सर्वाण्यनीकानि तदद्भुतमिवाभवत्॥६-१-२१॥
And there the rain-cloud poured a shower called “flesh and blood”; it spattered all the battle-formations, and it seemed a marvel—an ominous portent within the tale.
english translation
वायुस्ततः प्रादुरभून्नीचैः शर्करकर्षणः । विनिघ्नंस्तान्यनीकानि विधमंश्चैव तद्रजः॥६-१-२२॥
Then a wind arose, blowing low and dragging gravel; it broke up those battle-formations and drove away that dust as well.
english translation
उभे सेने तदा राजन्युद्धाय मुदिते भृशम् । कुरुक्षेत्रे स्थिते यत्ते सागरक्षुभितोपमे॥६-१-२३॥
O King, both armies then stood on Kurukṣetra, greatly elated and eager for battle, like an ocean churned by a storm.
english translation
तयोस्तु सेनयोरासीदद्भुतः स समागमः । युगान्ते समनुप्राप्ते द्वयोः सागरयोरिव॥६-१-२४॥
But the meeting of those two armies was wondrous—like the convergence of two oceans when the end of an age has come.
english translation
शून्यासीत्पृथिवी सर्वा बालवृद्धावशेषिता । तेन सेनासमूहेन समानीतेन कौरवैः॥६-१-२५॥
The whole earth seemed emptied, with only children and the aged left behind, because of that vast host of troops assembled by the Kauravas.
