निहतै राजपुत्रैश्च क्षत्रियैश्च महाबलैः हस्तिभिः पतितैश्चैव तुरगैश्चाभवन्मही अगम्यमार्गा समरे विशीर्णैरिव पर्वतैः

English Translation

Then the dreadful field of battle resembled the clouded firmament filled with various vapoury forins and the earth being scattered over with the slaughtered princes and the Kshatriyas, possessed of great strength, as well as with the fallen elephants and horses, became as impassable in the battle as the ground strewn over with numerous hills.
