निपेतुर्विमलाः शक्त्यो वीरबाहुभिरर्पिताः । महोल्काप्रतिमा घोरास्तत्र तत्र विशां पते॥६-४४-३१॥

Bright spears, hurled by the arms of warriors, fell in various places—terrible, like great meteors, O lord of the people.

द्वीपिचर्मावनद्धैश्च व्याघ्रचर्मशयैरपि । विकोशैर्विमलैः खड्गैरभिजघ्नुः परान्रणे॥६-४४-३२॥

Some, clad in leopard-skins and with tiger-skin coverings, struck down foes in the fray with unsheathed, gleaming swords.

english translation

अभिप्लुतमभिक्रुद्धमेकपार्श्वावदारितम् । विदर्शयन्तः संपेतुः खड्गचर्मपरश्वधैः॥६-४४-३३॥

Displaying their fierce advance and heightened resolve, they closed in with swords, shields, and axes, striking to lay open one flank.

शक्तिभिर्दारिताः केचित्संछिन्नाश्च परश्वधैः । हस्तिभिर्मृदिताः केचित्क्षुण्णाश्चान्ये तुरंगमैः॥६-४४-३४॥

Some were felled by spears; others were hewn down by axes. Some were crushed by elephants, and others were trampled by horses.

रथनेमिनिकृत्ताश्च निकृत्ता निशितैः शरैः । विक्रोशन्ति नरा राजंस्तत्र तत्र स्म बान्धवान्॥६-४४-३५॥

Some were struck down by chariot-wheels, and others were cut by sharp arrows; men cried out, O king, calling for their relatives in various places.
