तत्रावहारं संप्राप्तं मन्येऽहं पुरुषर्षभ । श्रान्ता भीताश्च नो योधा न योत्स्यन्ति कथंचन॥६-५१-४१॥

Therefore, O best of men, I deem withdrawal necessary; our warriors are weary and afraid, and they will not fight further in any manner.

english translation

एवमुक्त्वा ततो भीष्मो द्रोणमाचार्यसत्तमम् । अवहारमथो चक्रे तावकानां महारथः॥६-५१-४२॥

Having spoken thus, Bhīṣma, the great chariot-warrior, addressed Droṇa, foremost of teachers, and then instituted a withdrawal for your forces.

english translation

ततोऽवहारः सैन्यानां तव तेषां च भारत । अस्तं गच्छति सूर्येऽभूत्संध्याकाले च वर्तति॥६-५१-४३॥

Then, O Bhārata, there was a withdrawal of the armies—yours and theirs—as the sun set and the time of twilight prevailed.
