क्षरन्त इव जीमूता मदार्द्राः पद्मगन्धिनः । राजानमन्वयुः पश्चाच्चलन्त इव पर्वताः॥६-१९-३१॥
Moist with musth and fragrant like lotuses, they followed behind the king—like rain-bearing clouds shedding water, or like mountains set in motion.
english translation
भीमसेनो गदां भीमां प्रकर्षन्परिघोपमाम् । प्रचकर्ष महत्सैन्यं दुराधर्षो महामनाः॥६-१९-३२॥
Bhīmasena, drawing along his formidable mace like an iron bar, pressed forward a great division of the army; difficult to check, he was resolute in intent.
english translation
तमर्कमिव दुष्प्रेक्ष्यं तपन्तं रश्मिमालिनम् । न शेकुः सर्वतो योधाः प्रतिवीक्षितुमन्तिके॥६-१९-३३॥
Like the sun—hard to gaze upon, blazing and garlanded with rays—the warriors on every side could not steadily look upon him at close range.
english translation
वज्रो नामैष तु व्यूहो दुर्भिदः सर्वतोमुखः । चापविद्युद्ध्वजो घोरो गुप्तो गाण्डीवधन्वना॥६-१९-३४॥
This battle-array is called the ‘Vajra’; it is difficult to penetrate and faces in all directions. Its banner is archery-skill; formidable, it is protected by the archer who bears the Gāṇḍīva.
english translation
यं प्रतिव्यूह्य तिष्ठन्ति पाण्डवास्तव वाहिनीम् । अजेयो मानुषे लोके पाण्डवैरभिरक्षितः॥६-१९-३५॥
That battle-array which the Pāṇḍavas meet in counter-formation before your host—guarded by the Pāṇḍavas, it is unconquerable in the world of men.
