Somewhere the brave horses were dancing
And somewhere in the war, the high warriors were showing glory. 167.
Somewhere Banke Bir (of war) was raising debts.
Somewhere in the war-zone the umbrella horses ('Khing') were dancing.
Somewhere in anger, the Hathi (warriors) were gnashing their teeth.
Somewhere (the warriors) were twisting their mustaches and somewhere their feet were moving. 168.
When chhatradharis (soldiers) roared from both sides,
So a terrible war broke out and a lot of slaughter started.
Being very angry, the soldiers and horses started jumping.
(Blood from) the deep wounds in the bodies began to bleed. 169.
Somewhere Kundaldars (with hair) were adorning their heads
Seeing (them) they were removing the ends of the garlands around Shiva's neck.
Somewhere the great warriors had fallen down after being eaten.
(It seemed like this) as if he was sitting with the clapping of Siddha Yoga. 170.
A river of blood was flowing there, seeing that
The pride of the eight (sacred) rivers was disappearing.
Many herds of horses were flowing in it like crocodiles.
Mast elephants were looking like big mountains. 171.
The flags were being waved in it like arrows
As the sticks without addresses were flowing.
Somewhere in it, the cut umbrellas were flowing.
The foam looked as if torn clothes were (floating) in the water. 172.
Somewhere the severed arm was being washed like this,
As if Shiva ('Panch Bakratan') were snakes.
Somewhere the slain warriors on horseback were wandering,
As the (persons) riding on the mashkas ('sanahin') were going across. 173.
Somewhere (broken) fragments and sheaths were being (thus) shed,
As if the armpits and the fish are being washed together.
There the open turbans were flowing like this,
As if there were thirty biyamans (two yards in length) long snakes. 174.
In it, the stingers were adorned like a school of fishes.
Even strong snakes used to get scared seeing the white horses.
Somewhere shields ('skin') were cut and (somewhere) weapons and armor fell.
Somewhere the soldiers and horses were being swept along with the armor. 175.
The stubborn giants were ready to move
And there were thunders on all four sides of Maha Kal Ji.
Somewhere, angry, weapons were being fired
And somewhere Sankh and big drums were playing. 176.
The mahawats ('feely') were very happy and were singing their songs
And some bells were being sounded on the horses.
The bells tied on the camels were being sounded furiously,
It is as if the hawks are falling apart after seeing the red (meat) food. 177.
Somewhere, the brave warriors wore red ribbons.
Somewhere white and black marks (flags) were made.
Somewhere the green and yellow fabrics were adorned like this,
It is as if stubborn warriors have come to the war zone after tying juts. 178.
Some were being covered with shields and some were being taken from wounds.
