छिन्नगात्रावरकरैर्निहतैश्चापि वारणैः । आसीत्तस्मिन्समास्तीर्णा पतितैर्भूर्नगैरिव॥६-५०-५१॥

That ground was then covered with elephants whose limbs and extremities had been severed and who had been brought low—like the earth strewn with fallen mountains.

english translation

विमृद्यैवं महानागान्ममर्दाश्वान्नरर्षभः । अश्वारोहवरांश्चापि पातयामास भारत । तद्घोरमभवद्युद्धं तस्य तेषां च भारत॥६-५०-५२॥

Having thus crushed the great elephants, that bull among men also pressed hard upon the horses and caused even excellent horsemen to fall, O Bhārata. The battle between him and them became exceedingly fierce, O Bhārata.

english translation

खलीनान्यथ योक्त्राणि कशाश्च कनकोज्ज्वलाः । परिस्तोमाश्च प्रासाश्च ऋष्टयश्च महाधनाः॥६-५०-५३॥

There were also bridles and harness-straps, and whips gleaming with gold; and likewise trappings, spears, and costly lances.

english translation

कवचान्यथ चर्माणि चित्राण्यास्तरणानि च । तत्र तत्रापविद्धानि व्यदृश्यन्त महाहवे॥६-५०-५४॥

Armour and leather shields, and various decorated coverings, were seen cast aside here and there in that great engagement.

english translation

प्रोथयन्त्रैर्विचित्रैश्च शस्त्रैश्च विमलैस्तथा । स चक्रे वसुधां कीर्णां शबलैः कुसुमैरिव॥६-५०-५५॥

With diverse prodding implements and with bright, well-finished weapons, he made the ground appear strewn, as if with multicoloured flowers.
