अपि सा रथघोषेण भयार्ता सव्यसाचिनः । वित्रस्ता बहुला सेना भारती प्रतिभाति मे॥५-५१-१६॥
Even by the sound of Savyasācin’s chariot, that large Bhārata host appears to me as distressed by fear and thrown into alarm.
english translation
यथा कक्षं दहत्यग्निः प्रवृद्धः सर्वतश्चरन् । महार्चिरनिलोद्धूतस्तद्वद्धक्ष्यति मामकान्॥५-५१-१७॥
As a fire, grown intense and moving in all directions—its great flames driven by the wind—consumes dry brush, so likewise will he consume my people (the Kauravas).
english translation
यदोद्वमन्निशितान्बाणसंघान्स्थाताततायी समरे किरीटी । सृष्टोऽन्तकः सर्वहरो विधात्रा यथा भवेत्तद्वदवारणीयः॥५-५१-१८॥
When Kiriṭin (Arjuna), the relentless warrior, looses volleys of sharpened arrows in the press of battle, he becomes hard to restrain—like Antaka (Death), the all-seizing power, set in motion by the Ordainer.
english translation
यदा ह्यभीक्ष्णं सुबहून्प्रकाराञ्श्रोतास्मि तानावसथे कुरूणाम् । तेषां समन्ताच्च तथा रणाग्रे क्षयः किलायं भरतानुपैति॥५-५१-१९॥
For again and again, in many forms, I hear those reports within the Kuru residence; and from every side—also at the battle’s front—it seems the Bharata line is drawing near to depletion.
