Arms with swords, with finger-guards, with pattishas and axes were seen severed, adorned with golden ornaments. With garlands, adornments, garments, and toppled great banners, with armor, shields, necklaces, diadems, parasols and fly-whisks; with wrecked chariot-bodies, platforms, shafts, poles and seats, with shattered axles, wheels broken in many places, with yokes, rear-axles, pennants, and with charioteers and horses, and with wrecked chariots, and with struck-down elephants the earth became covered. Covered with struck-down heroic kshatriyas, lords of various lands, thirsting for victory, the ground became terrible.

A long enumeration of the sundered — severed arms in gold, diadems, fly-whisks, wrecked chariots, the bodies of lords — reveals the utter collapse of order: everything the army was proud of is turned into a heap upon the earth. It is significant that "lords of various lands, thirsting for victory," lie mixed together with wreckage of harness — those who sought triumph found only death. The verse teaches that all the splendor and pride of an army are turned in a single hour into an earth strewn with wreckage; that those who sought victory found destruction, and their crowns lie tumbled beside broken axles; and that the tradition, piling up this mournful catalogue, wordlessly proclaims the vanity of all martial ambition — for those "thirsting for victory" made the earth only "terrible" with a heap of their own bodies and finery.
