विकीर्णान्त्राः सुबहवो भग्नसक्थाश्च भारत । बाहुभिः सुभुजाच्छिन्नैः पार्श्वेषु च विदारिताः । क्रन्दन्तः समदृश्यन्त तृषिता जीवितेप्सवः॥६-४४-३७॥
Many were seen with severe bodily trauma—limbs broken, sides torn, and arms severed—O Bhārata; crying out, they appeared thirsting for life and seeking to survive.

अपरे क्षत्रियाः शूराः कृतवैराः परस्परम् । नैव शस्त्रं विमुञ्चन्ति नैव क्रन्दन्ति मारिष । तर्जयन्ति च संहृष्टास्तत्र तत्र परस्परम्॥६-४४-४०॥
Other heroic kṣatriyas, having forged mutual enmity, neither let fall their weapons nor cried out, O venerable one; rather, exhilarated, they challenged one another here and there.
