निर्दश्य दशनैश्चापि क्रोधात्स्वदशनच्छदान् । भ्रुकुटीकुटिलैर्वक्त्रैः प्रेक्षन्ते च परस्परम्॥६-४४-४१॥

And, in anger, baring their teeth, with faces contorted by knitted brows, they looked at one another.

english translation

अपरे क्लिश्यमानास्तु व्रणार्ताः शरपीडिताः । निष्कूजाः समपद्यन्त दृढसत्त्वा महाबलाः॥६-४४-४२॥

Others, though suffering—wounded and pressed hard by arrows—fell silent; strong-willed and powerful, they endured.

english translation

अन्ये तु विरथाः शूरा रथमन्यस्य संयुगे । प्रार्थयाना निपतिताः संक्षुण्णा वरवारणैः । अशोभन्त महाराज पुष्पिता इव किंशुकाः॥६-४४-४३॥

Others—valiant yet deprived of their chariots—sought another’s chariot in the engagement; having fallen and been crushed by excellent elephants, they lay, O great king, like kiṃśuka trees in bloom.

english translation

संबभूवुरनीकेषु बहवो भैरवस्वनाः । वर्तमाने महाभीमे तस्मिन्वीरवरक्षये॥६-४४-४४॥

Many formidable sounds arose among the divisions while that intensely fearsome attrition of eminent warriors was underway.

english translation

अहनत्तु पिता पुत्रं पुत्रश्च पितरं रणे । स्वस्रीयो मातुलं चापि स्वस्रीयं चापि मातुलः॥६-४४-४५॥

In that engagement, a father struck down a son, and a son a father; a sister’s son struck his maternal uncle, and the maternal uncle likewise struck the sister’s son.
