इत्य् उक्त्वा भरतश्रेष्ठ पुत्रो दुर्योधनस् तव ॥
व्यादिदेश ततः सैन्यं तस्मिंस् तमसि दारुणे ॥
ततः प्रववृते युद्धं रात्रौ तद् भरतर्षभ ॥
उभयोः सेनयोर् घोरं विजयं प्रति काङ्क्षिणोः ॥
अर्जुनः कौरवं सैन्यम् अर्जुनं चापि कौरवाः ॥
नानाशस्त्रसमावापैर् अन्योन्यं पर्यपीडयन् ॥
ity uktvā bharataśreṣṭha putro duryodhanas tava ||
vyādideśa tataḥ sainyaṃ tasmiṃs tamasi dāruṇe ||
tataḥ pravavṛte yuddhaṃ rātrau tad bharatarṣabha ||
ubhayoḥ senayor ghoraṃ vijayaṃ prati kāṅkṣiṇoḥ ||
arjunaḥ kauravaṃ sainyam arjunaṃ cāpi kauravāḥ ||
nānāśastrasamāvāpair anyonyaṃ paryapīḍayan ||
Having spoken thus, O best of the Bharatas, your son Duryodhana then gave orders to the army in that dreadful darkness. Then that battle began by night, O bull of the Bharatas, dreadful, between the two armies, both longing for victory. Arjuna pressed the army of the Kauravas, and the Kauravas pressed Arjuna; with a barrage of various weapons they harassed one another.

The plan is spoken — and at once turns into deed: the leader's word becomes the array of armies. It is telling that both camps are called equally 'longing for victory': enmity equalizes the opponents in the very drive that moves them, and each sees the truth only on his own side. The verse teaches that war feeds on the mutual thirst for triumph, and as long as both sides dream of victory, neither one thinks of peace; thus the mutual wish to prevail is precisely what prolongs destruction without end.
