Rahular Itihasa / M. N. Dutt · Drona Parva Chapter 188 · Verse 26
Sanskrit Original
न दिशो द्यौर्न चोर्वी च न समं विषमं तथा। हस्तसंस्पर्शमापन्नान् परानप्यथवा स्वकान्॥ न्यपातयंस्तदा युद्धे नराः स्म विजयैषिणः। उद्भूतत्वात् तु रजसः प्रसेकाच्छोणितस्य च॥ प्राशाम्यत रजो भौमं शीघ्रत्वादनिलस्य च। तत्र नागा हया योधा रथिनोऽथ पदातयः॥
Nor the quarters of heaven, nor the welkin, nor the earth, nor the undulations of land. The warriors, impelled by the thought of victory, slew friends and foes indiscriminately, in fact all whom they perceived by their touch. The dust that had arisen was very soon driven away by the winds that began to blow then and it wad quenched by the blood that shed profusely. Elephants, steeds, car-warriors and foot-soldiers.
