समेतौ तौ नरव्याघ्रौ शुष्मिणौ स्पर्धिनौ रणे ॥
द्विरदाव् इव संक्रुद्धौ वाशितार्थे मदोत्कटौ ॥
भूरिश्रवाः सात्यकिश् च ववर्षतुर् अरिंदमौ ॥
शरवर्षाणि भीमानि मेघाव् इव परस्परम् ॥

sametau tau naravyāghrau śuṣmiṇau spardhinau raṇe ||
dviradāv iva saṃkruddhau vāśitārthe madotkaṭau ||
bhūriśravāḥ sātyakiś ca vavarṣatur ariṃdamau ||

Those two tigers among men, closing together, furious, rivaling in battle, like two enraged elephants frenzied with rut over a female elephant -- Bhūriśravas and Sātyaki, chastisers of foes, poured upon each other terrible showers of arrows, like two clouds. Saumadatti, having veiled the Śaineya with swift arrows, craving to slay him, O best of the Bharatas, pierced him with sharp arrows.

From words they finally turn to deeds -- and both prove visibly equal, like two thunderclouds. It is telling that the earlier advantage in boasting settled nothing: the battle begins anew, in fact. The verse teaches that threats preceding a clash fall away the moment weapons cross; and the true measure is not who threatened louder but who stands firmer when the rain of arrows makes the disputants equal.
