From the gathered mass of enraged, wounded, gasping fighters a "ūṣmā" -- a heat -- rises, like the exhalation of battle. The poet conveys the very air of the carnage -- hot, bloody, roaring. It is telling that the battle is described not only visually but through this heat. The verse teaches that war poisons the very air: from a mass of fury and blood a stifling heat rises; and whoever feels this heat will understand that carnage is no glorious spectacle but a suffocating haze in which all that lives is choked.
