एते समरदुर्धर्षाः सिंहतुल्यपराक्रमाः । पाण्डवानामनीकानि बभञ्जुः स्म पुनः पुनः॥६-५३-२६॥

These warriors, hard to withstand in battle and lion-like in prowess, repeatedly shattered the Pandava formations.

english translation

तथैव भीमसेनोऽपि राक्षसश्च घटोत्कचः । सात्यकिश्चेकितानश्च द्रौपदेयाश्च भारत॥६-५३-२७॥

Likewise, Bhīmasena, the rākṣasa Ghaṭotkaca, Sātyaki, Cekitāna, and the sons of Draupadī, O Bhārata, came forward in response.

english translation

तावकांस्तव पुत्रांश्च सहितान्सर्वराजभिः । द्रावयामासुराजौ ते त्रिदशा दानवानिव॥६-५३-२८॥

They drove back your forces and your sons, together with all the kings, as the devas are said to drive back the dānavas.

english translation

तथा ते समरेऽन्योन्यं निघ्नन्तः क्षत्रियर्षभाः । रक्तोक्षिता घोररूपा विरेजुर्दानवा इव॥६-५३-२९॥

Thus, in the engagement, those bull-like kṣatriyas, striking one another, appeared formidable, spattered with blood—like dānavas in epic imagery.

english translation

विनिर्जित्य रिपून्वीराः सेनयोरुभयोरपि । व्यदृश्यन्त महामात्रा ग्रहा इव नभस्तले॥६-५३-३०॥

Having overcome adversaries in both armies, the great commanders stood out like planets in the sky.
