उदतिष्ठद रजॊ भौमं न परज्ञायत किं चन पक्षिणश चापतन भूमौ सैन्येन रजसावृताः ।। ४-३१-५ ।।

sanskrit

'It was terrifying enough to make one's hair stand on end, and vast enough to swell the kingdom of Yama. As foot soldiers, cavalry, chariots, and elephants from both sides rushed upon one another, striking and slashing, thick clouds of dust rose into the air, obscuring all vision. Shrouded in that blinding storm of dust raised by the warring hosts, even the birds lost their way and fell to the ground.' ।। 4-31-5 ।।
