तत्प्रभग्नं बलं दृष्ट्वा पिता देवव्रतस्तव । अब्रवीत्समरे शूरं भारद्वाजं स्मयन्निव॥६-५१-३६॥
Seeing that force routed, your sire Devavrata (Bhīṣma) spoke in the engagement to the heroic Bhāradvāja (Droṇa), as if with a faint smile.

एष पाण्डुसुतो वीरः कृष्णेन सहितो बली । तथा करोति सैन्यानि यथा कुर्याद्धनंजयः॥६-५१-३७॥
This heroic son of Pāṇḍu, powerful and accompanied by Kṛṣṇa, is acting upon the armies exactly as Dhanaṃjaya would act.

न ह्येष समरे शक्यो जेतुमद्य कथंचन । यथास्य दृश्यते रूपं कालान्तकयमोपमम्॥६-५१-३८॥
Truly, this one cannot be overcome today in battle by any means, for his form is seen as comparable to Kāla, Antaka, and Yama.

न निवर्तयितुं चापि शक्येयं महती चमूः । अन्योन्यप्रेक्षया पश्य द्रवतीयं वरूथिनी॥६-५१-३९॥
Nor can this vast host be turned back; behold—through exchanged glances and shared dread—the battle-formation is breaking apart and dispersing.

एष चास्तं गिरिश्रेष्ठं भानुमान्प्रतिपद्यते । वपूंषि सर्वलोकस्य संहरन्निव सर्वथा॥६-५१-४०॥
And the radiant sun draws toward setting behind the foremost of mountains, as though wholly withdrawing the visible forms of all the worlds.
