ध्वजानां धूयमानानां सहसा मातरिश्वना । किङ्किणीजालनद्धानां काञ्चनस्रग्वतां रवैः॥६-१९-४१॥

As the wind suddenly shook the banners, the sounds of the golden garlands and the netted rows of small bells resonated.

english translation

महतां सपताकानामादित्यसमतेजसाम् । सर्वं झणझणीभूतमासीत्तालवनेष्विव॥६-१९-४२॥

Among the great standards with their pennants, radiant like the sun, everything became a continuous metallic ringing—like the sound within a grove of palmyra trees.

english translation

एवं ते पुरुषव्याघ्राः पाण्डवा युद्धनन्दिनः । व्यवस्थिताः प्रतिव्यूह्य तव पुत्रस्य वाहिनीम्॥६-१९-४३॥

Thus those tiger-like men, the Pāṇḍavas who delighted in battle and stood firm in ordered array, took up a counter-formation against your son’s host.

english translation

स्रंसन्त इव मज्जानो योधानां भरतर्षभ । दृष्ट्वाग्रतो भीमसेनं गदापाणिमवस्थितम्॥६-१९-४४॥

O bull among the Bhāratas, seeing Bhīmasena stationed in front with a mace in hand, the opposing combatants seemed to falter, as if their resolve were sinking.
