Rahular Itihasa / M. N. Dutt · Mausala Parva Chapter 7 · Verse 8
Sanskrit Original
भोजवृष्ण्यन्धका ब्रह्मन्नन्योन्यं तैर्हतं युधि। गदापरिघशक्तीनां सहाः परिघबाहवः॥ त एरकाभिर्निहताः पश्य कालस्य पर्ययम्। हतं पञ्चशतं तेषां सहस्रं बाहुशालिनाम्॥ निधनं समनुप्राप्तं समासाद्येतरेतरम्।
The heroes of the Bhoja, the Andhaka, and the Vrishni races, O Brahmana, who were all gifted with high-souls, great might, and leonine pride, have killed one another in battle. Possessed of arms which looked like maces of iron, and capable of bearing the strokes of heavy clubs and darts, alas they have all been killed with blades of Eraka grass. See the perverse course of Time. Five hundred thousand mighty-armed warriors have thus been killed. Encountering one another, they have met with destruction.
