तेषां प्रवृत्ते सङ्ग्रामे विपुले शोणितोदके ।
रराज लोहितेनोर्वी संसिक्ता बहुधा भृशम् ॥ ८.६१.१ ॥
When the vast battle had begun between them, with a water of blood, the earth, thoroughly sprinkled with blood in many ways, shone.
8.61.2
ततो रजसि संशान्ते प्रकाशः सर्वतोऽभवत् ।
एतस्मिन्नन्तरे पार्थं कृष्णो वचनमब्रवीत्।
दर्शयन्निव कौन्तेयं धर्मराजं युधिष्ठिरम् ॥ ८.६१.२ ॥

आशीविषसमस्पर्शैः सर्वायुधविशारदैः ॥ ८.६१.६ ॥
Desiring to kill the tiger among men, the mighty one comes with his brothers, who are like venomous snakes to the touch and skilled in all weapons.

नदद्भिः सिंहनादांश्च धमद्भिश्चापि वारिजान् ।
बलवद्भिर्महेष्वासैर्विधून्वानैर्धनूंषि च ॥ ८.६१.७ ॥
Roaring like lions, blowing their conches, the mighty great archers shaking their bows.

युधिष्ठिरं धार्तराष्ट्रो रत्नोत्तममिवार्थिनः ॥ ८.६१.८ ॥
These elephant, horse, chariot and foot soldiers go, desiring to seize Yudhiṣṭhira, as the son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra would seek the finest jewel.

जिहीर्षवोऽमृतं दैत्याः शक्राग्निभ्यामिवाहवे ॥ ८.६१.९ ॥

समुद्रमिव वार्योघाः प्रावृट्काले महारथाः ॥ ८.६१.१० ॥
These great charioteers, being many, hasten again toward the Pāṇḍava, like floods of water in the rainy season flowing toward the ocean.

हुतमग्नौ च कौन्तेयं दुर्योधनवशं गतम् ॥ ८.६१.११ ॥
I think Yudhiṣṭhira, son of Kuntī, has gone into the mouth of death, and the Kaunteya, fallen under Duryodhana's power, has been offered into the fire.
8.61.12
यथायुक्तमनीकं हि धार्तराष्ट्रस्य पाण्डव ।
नास्य शक्रोऽपि मुच्येत सम्प्राप्तो बाणगोचरम् ॥ ८.६१.१२ ॥
O Pāṇḍava, the army of the son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra is properly arrayed; whoever comes within range of its arrows cannot be freed from it, not even Indra.

सहितो धृतराष्ट्रस्य पुत्रैः शूरैर्महाबलैः ॥ ८.६१.१६ ॥
Mighty, swift-handed, skilled and expert in war, the son of Rādhā (Karṇa), together with the heroic sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra of great might, is able to harass the best of the Pāṇḍavas in battle.
8.61.17
तस्यैभिर्युध्यमानस्य सङ्ग्रामे शंसितात्मनः ।

ब्राह्मो बले स्थितो ह्येष न क्षात्रे हि बले विभुः ॥ ८.६१.१८ ॥

यद्भीमसेनः सहते सिंहनादममर्षणः ॥ ८.६१.२० ॥
I think the great king, Yudhiṣṭhira son of Pṛthā, is not alive, since Bhīmasena, unable to bear it, endures the lion's roar.

धमतां च महाशङ्खान्सङ्ग्रामे जितकाशिनाम् ॥ ८.६१.२१ ॥
As the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra roared again and again and blew their great conches in battle, deeming themselves victorious, O tamer of foes!

प्रच्छादयन्ति राजानमनुयान्ति महारथाः ॥ ८.६१.२३ ॥
