तयोः शङ्खप्रणादेन रथनेमिस्वनेन च । दारिता सहसा भूमिश्चकम्प च ननाद च॥६-४८-५६॥

By the blast of their conches and the roar of their chariot-wheels, the ground seemed suddenly split; it trembled and resounded.

english translation

न तयोरन्तरं कश्चिद्ददृशे भरतर्षभ । बलिनौ समरे शूरावन्योन्यसदृशावुभौ॥६-४८-५७॥

No one perceived any gap between them, O bull of the Bharatas; both were mighty heroes in the fray, each the equal of the other.

english translation

चिह्नमात्रेण भीष्मं तु प्रजज्ञुस्तत्र कौरवाः । तथा पाण्डुसुताः पार्थं चिह्नमात्रेण जज्ञिरे॥६-४८-५८॥

There the Kauravas recognized Bhīṣma only by his distinguishing marks; likewise, the sons of Pāṇḍu recognized Pārtha only by his marks.

english translation

तयोर्नृवरयो राजन्दृश्य तादृक्पराक्रमम् । विस्मयं सर्वभूतानि जग्मुर्भारत संयुगे॥६-४८-५९॥

Seeing such prowess of those two foremost men, O King, all beings were struck with astonishment in that Bhārata engagement.

english translation

न तयोर्विवरं कश्चिद्रणे पश्यति भारत । धर्मे स्थितस्य हि यथा न कश्चिद्वृजिनं क्वचित्॥६-४८-६०॥

No one sees any vulnerability between them in the engagement, O Bhārata—just as no one, anywhere, finds moral fault in one who stands established in dharma.
