संजय उवाच । राजञ्शतसहस्राणि तत्र तत्र तदा तदा । निर्मर्यादं प्रयुद्धानि तत्ते वक्ष्यामि भारत॥६-४४-१॥
Sañjaya said: O King, hundreds of thousands of engagements occurred here and there, at various times, without boundary or restraint; that I shall relate to you, O Bhārata.

A son did not recognize his father, nor a father his legitimate son; there a brother did not recognize a brother, nor an uncle his sister’s son.

मातुलं न च स्वस्रीयो न सखायं सखा तथा । आविष्टा इव युध्यन्ते पाण्डवाः कुरुभिः सह॥६-४४-३॥
A sister’s son did not recognize his maternal uncle, nor a friend his friend; as if seized by a force, the Pāṇḍavas fought together with the Kurus.

रथानीकं नरव्याघ्राः केचिदभ्यपतन्रथैः । अभज्यन्त युगैरेव युगानि भरतर्षभ॥६-४४-४॥
Some tiger-like warriors charged the chariot-formation with their chariots; yokes and teams were shattered by yokes alone, O bull among the Bhāratas.
english translation
रथेषाश्च रथेषाभिः कूबरा रथकूबरैः । संहताः संहतैः केचित्परस्परजिघांसवः॥६-४४-५॥
Chariot-poles crashed against chariot-poles, and yoke-pins against yoke-pins; some, massed against massed foes, strove to check and overpower one another.
