Someone is fighting with twisted fist and someone is fighting by catching the hair
Someone is running away from the battlefield and someone is moving forward
Someone is fighting with the girdles and someone is fighting by inflicting blows with his spear
The poet Shyam says that only those people are fighting, who think of their family-traditions.1192.
All the eight kings have come to Sri Krishna with all their armies.
All the eight kings fell upon Krishna alongwith their armies in the battlefield and said, “O Krishna! fight with us fearlessly,”

Pulling their bows, they discharged their arrows towards Krishna and Krishna taking up his bow intercepted their arrows.1193.

The enemy’s army, in great fury surrounded Krishna from all the four sides and said, “O warriors! all of you may join together in order to kill Krishna

“It is he, who has killed Dhan Singh and Achlesh Singh and other kings,” saying this they surrounded Krishna like may elephants surrounding a lion.1194.
When Krishna was besieged, he held up his weapons
In his fury, he killed many enemies in the battlefield, the heads of many were chopped,
And many were knocked down by catching their hair

All the eight kings said, “O warriors! do not run away and fight till the last
Do not fear Krishna as long as we are alive
“We command you to confront and fight with Krishna, the king of Yadavas
None of you will have the idea of avoiding the war, even slightly, run forward and fight till the last.”1196.
Then the warriors taking up their weapons fought in the battle and surrounded Krishna
They did not retrace their steps even for an instant and waged a violent war in great fury
Holding their swords and maces in their hands, they broke the enemy’s army into fragments
Somewhere they chopped the heads of the warriors and somewhere they tore their bosoms.1197.
Krishna taking his bow in his hand, he knocked down many warriors on chariots,
But again the enemies, taking up their weapons in their hands,
They fell upon Krishna, Krishna killed them with his sword and
In this way those who survived, they could not stay in the battlefield.1198.
