Sanskrit Text

तृणप्रायं ज्वलनेनेव दग्धं; ग्रामं यथा धार्तराष्ट्रः समीक्ष्य पक्वं सस्यं वैद्युतेनेव दग्धं; परासिक्तं विपुलं स्वं बलौघम्

English Translation

When like a village containing several huts of straw burnt up by fire, he sees the army of the son of Dhritarashtra consumed or when he sees his vast hosts of armies scattered like ripe corns struck by lightning.
