By the arrows of those two, O great king, flying in from every side, there arose among your armies a turmoil like the ocean. By arrows loosed from Bhima's bow, terrible, like venomous vipers, your army, O tamer of foes, was being destroyed in the midst of the host. With fallen elephants, O king, and with horses, together with men, the earth appeared strewn, as if by trees felled by the wind.

The clash of two chiefs shakes the whole army, as a storm shakes the ocean: the feud of the mighty drowns the uninvolved. It is telling that the fallen -- elephants, horses, and men -- lie jumbled together like a felled forest: war levels all in a common ruin. The verse teaches that a quarrel begun by the few reaps a harvest among the many; behind the duel of celebrated heroes stands a nameless field of the dead, toppled like trees before the wind.
