Jaimini said: The movement of the kings was hindered by the brilliant glow of the Āgneya missile. They could not see their way around. They became separated from one another belonging to their group. They became helpless in their bodies. Their minds became agitated and confused. They were frightened. They abandoned their clothes, weapons, coats of mail, ornaments etc. With their hairs let loose and dishevelled, they exhibited various caprices of insane persons in front of their enemies.
