Even now it seems to me that, panic-stricken by the rumble of Savyasachin's chariot, my vast army, composed of many divisions, scatters in every direction. As a great fire, spreading in every direction, its flames growing and driven by the wind, devours dry leaves and grass, so the great glory of Arjuna's weapons will consume all my forces. Kiritin, standing as an enemy in battle, will pour forth countless arrows and become as irresistible as all-destroying Death itself, driven onward by the Supreme Lord. When I hear again and again of the various evil omens occurring in the houses of the Kurus, around them, and on the field of battle, then destruction, without doubt, will befall the Bharatas.'
