Groaning, blood-drenched, senseless, in fierce pain, many heroes lay crying out to their kin. With bhindipalas, spears, shaktis, rishtis, axes, with arrows, armor, ornaments, with maces, in bracelets, on the battlefield -- arms resembling great serpents, like clubs, writhe, thrash, and coil everywhere, jerking in frenzy, severed by excellent arrows.

Severed arms, still clutching their weapons, "udveṣṭanti viceṣṭanti", writhe like serpents -- flesh moved by fading rage. The image is utterly dreadful. It is telling that the poem does not turn away from it: war is shown in the full horror of dismemberment. The verse teaches us not to be seduced by the glory of battle: behind the shine of valor lie writhing severed limbs and the groans of the dying calling for their kin; and whoever sees war as it truly is will not crave it, but will seek dharma and peace with all his strength, for this is the price of the sword.
