[Sanjaya:] "[A chariot], bound with iron and golden plates, fitted with a pole, studded with a thousand stars, bearing a lion-standard and banners, yoked with wind-swift horses, with golden harness and trappings, white, resembling the moon, surpassing every sound, firm, with wondrous golden armor, with foremost horses, O lord of the people, with the din of a mass of bells, flashing with shakti-spears and tomaras, furnished with implements of war, equipped with an abundant store of weapons — he fashioned the chariot, with a rumble deep as that of the clouds. Having mounted that, Shainya charged upon your army; Daruka too, as he pleased, departed to Keshava's side."
