Hands of many were amputated, many fell on the ground with exploded bellies, and those pierced with arrows were roaming in the battlefield.
Many of the wounded appeared to have come after wearing red garmens.1806.
When Krishna and Balram took the discus and the sword in their hands, then someone went pulling his bow and
Someone went holding the shield, trident, mace or dagger
There was consternation in the army of Jarasandh, becase the mighty Krishna ran hither and thither to kill the army
The steel collided with steel on both sides and because of the dreadfulness of war, the meditation of Shiva was also impaired.1807.
There was terrible destruction with the swords, lances, maces, daggers, axes etc. and the enemy’s army was being killed
The flowing stream of blood was flooded, the elephants, horses, chariots, heads and trunks of elephants were seen flowing in it
The ghosts, Vaitala and Bhairavas become thirsty and the Yoginis also ran away with overturned bowls
The poet Ram says that in this terrible battle even Shiva and Brahma leaving their concentration became fearful.1808 .
SWAYYA
When Krishna exhibited so much bravery, a warrior from enemy’s army cried out, “Krishna is a very powerful hero and is not being defeated even slightly in the war
“Now leave the battlefield and run away, because all will die and none will survive
Do not fall in the illusion that he is a boy, he is the same Krishna, who had knocked down Kansa by catching him from his hair.”1809.
Hearing these words, the suspense arose in the minds of all, the coward thought of running away from the battlefield, but the warriors were infuriated
Taking up their bows, arrows, swords etc., they began to fight proudly (with their opponents)
Krishna took his sword in his hand, challenged all of them and killed tham.1810.
Seeing the warriors running away in this calamitous situation, Krishna said to Balram, “You may control this situation and catching hold of all you weapons,
“Challenge the enemy and kill him, fall upon them unhesitatingly and all those enemies who are running away, entrap and catch them without killing them.”1811.
Hearing these words from the mouth of Krishna, Balram took his plough and mace and ran to pursue the enemy’s army
Reaching near the running enemies, Balram bound their hands with his noose
Some of them fought and died and some were taken alive as prisoners.1812.
The warriors of Krishna, holding their swords ran after the enemy’s army
Those who fought, were killed, and whosoever surrendered, he was released
Those enemies, who had never retraced their steps in the war, they had to get back before the strength of Balram
They became cowards and becoming the burden on the earth, ran away, and the swords and daggers dropped from their hands.1813.
Those warriors who kept standing in the battlefield, they now, getting enraged and taking up their discus, swords, lances, axes etc., gathered together and rushed to the front
All of them fearlessly thundering ran to conquer Krishna
A dreadful war ensued from both sided for the attainment of heaven.1814.
Then Yadavas from this side and the enemies from that side confronted the opponents
And mutually locked began to strike blows while challenging one another
Many of them died and writhed on being wounded and many were laid down on the earth
It appeared that the wrestlers drinking excessive hemp were rolling in the arena.1815.
KABIT
The great warriors are engaged in fighting firmly and are not retracing their steps while confronting the enemy
Taking their lances, swords, arrows etc. in their hands, they are fighting delightfully, being quite alert
They are embracing martyrdrom in order to ferry across the dreadful ocean of samsara
And after touching the sphere of the sun, they are abiding in heave, just as the foot thrusts further in a deep place, similarly according to the poet, the warriors are advancing forward.1816.
SWAYYA
Seeing such-like fighting, the warriors, getting enraged, are looking towards the enemy
They, holding in their hands lances, arrows, bows, swords, maces, tridents etc., are fearlessly striking blows
Going in front of the enemy and are also enduring their blows on their bodies
