In the fervor of battle, the warriors struck at one another, not sparing even themselves. The sons of Pritha (Kunti) looked upon the fray as they became deeply absorbed in the tumult of the world, allured by the illusion of the moment.
हिंदी अनुवाद
युद्ध के उन्माद में, योद्धाओं ने एक-दूसरे को मारा, यहाँ तक कि स्वयं को भी नहीं बख्शा। पृथ्वी के पुत्र (कुंती) ने मुठभेड़ को देखा और इस क्षण के भ्रम में गहरे डूब गए, जो संसार की हलचल से भरा था।
