एकप्रहाराभिहतान्भीमसेनेन कुञ्जरान् । अपश्याम रणे तस्मिन्गिरीन्वज्रहतानिव॥६-५८-४६॥
In that engagement we saw elephants struck by Bhīmasena with a single blow, like mountains struck by a thunderbolt.
english translation
भग्नदन्तान्भग्नकटान्भग्नसक्थांश्च वारणान् । भग्नपृष्ठान्भग्नकुम्भान्निहतान्पर्वतोपमान्॥६-५८-४७॥
We saw elephants with broken tusks, broken temples, and fractured limbs—some with broken backs and damaged forehead-globes—brought down, resembling mountains.
english translation
नदतः सीदतश्चान्यान्विमुखान्समरे गजान् । विमूत्रान्भग्नसंविग्नांस्तथा विशकृतोऽपरान्॥६-५८-४८॥
Some elephants were seen trumpeting and collapsing; others turned away in the engagement—some voiding urine, others distressed and disordered, and still others voiding feces.
english translation
भीमसेनस्य मार्गेषु गतासून्पर्वतोपमान् । अपश्याम हतान्नागान्निष्टनन्तस्तथापरे॥६-५८-४९॥
Along Bhīmasena’s routes we beheld elephants, now lifeless and mountain-like in size; and elsewhere other elephants, struck down, were still uttering cries of distress.
english translation
वमन्तो रुधिरं चान्ये भिन्नकुम्भा महागजाः । विह्वलन्तो गता भूमिं शैला इव धरातले॥६-५८-५०॥
Some great elephants, their frontal globes shattered, were spewing blood; bewildered, they fell to the ground like boulders upon the earth.
