तेषां बहुत्वाद्धि भृशं शराणां दिशोऽथ सर्वाः पिहिता बभूवुः । न चान्तरिक्षं न दिशो न भूमिर्न भास्करोऽदृश्यत रश्मिमाली । ववुश्च वातास्तुमुलाः सधूमा दिशश्च सर्वाः क्षुभिता बभूवुः॥६-५५-७२॥
By the sheer multitude of those arrows, all directions seemed veiled. Neither the sky, nor the quarters, nor the earth—nor even the sun, wreathed in rays—could be clearly seen. Tumultuous winds, as though smoky, blew, and every direction appeared disturbed.
