राजमानाश्च निस्त्रिंशाः संसिक्ता नरशोणितैः । प्रत्यदृश्यन्त शूराणामन्योन्यमभिधावताम्॥६-४४-१६॥

Bright swords, spattered with human blood, were seen among the heroes as they charged at one another.

english translation

अवक्षिप्तावधूतानामसीनां वीरबाहुभिः । संजज्ञे तुमुलः शब्दः पततां परमर्मसु॥६-४४-१७॥

As swords were cast down and swung by the arms of heroes, a tumultuous roar arose when they struck the vital points.

english translation

गदामुसलरुग्णानां भिन्नानां च वरासिभिः । दन्तिदन्तावभिन्नानां मृदितानां च दन्तिभिः॥६-४४-१८॥

Some were crippled by maces and clubs, others cut down by excellent swords; some were gored by elephant tusks, and others crushed beneath elephants.

english translation

तत्र तत्र नरौघाणां क्रोशतामितरेतरम् । शुश्रुवुर्दारुणा वाचः प्रेतानामिव भारत॥६-४४-१९॥

Here and there, amid the masses of men calling out to one another, harsh and dreadful voices were heard—like those of spirits, O Bhārata.

english translation

हयैरपि हयारोहाश्चामरापीडधारिभिः । हंसैरिव महावेगैरन्योन्यमभिदुद्रुवुः॥६-४४-२०॥

Mounted cavalry, with their horses and attendants bearing yak-tail fans and crested headgear, charged at one another at great speed, like swans in swift flight.
