By those arrows of the son of Drona, charged with the speed of the thunderbolt, the burning enemies fell, like trees consumed by fire. The great elephants, burning, fell to the ground on every side, bellowing dreadful cries like the roar of storm clouds. Some fled there, the great elephants burning; and others trembled, as if in a dreadful forest engulfed by a wildfire.

The army burns like a forest ablaze, and mighty elephants fall bellowing like thunderclouds. It is telling how the strength of these living giants turns into a helpless cry: before the fire of the weapon, nothing stands. The verse teaches that size and strength are powerless before an element that has exceeded all measure; the sight of perishing giants is a reminder of the vanity of bodily might where all-devouring flame holds sway.
