the parties of both the demons and the demigods; dhvajinyau—the two
parties of soldiers, each one bearing his own flag; pandu-nandana—O
descendant of Maharaja Pandu; rejatuh—distinctly recognized; vira-
malabhih—with garlands used by heroes; yddasdm—of aquatics; iva—
just like; ségarau—two oceans.

TRANSLATION

O King, O descendant of Maharaja Pandu, the soldiers of both
the demigods and demons were decorated by canopies, colorful
flags, and umbrellas with handles made of valuable jewels and
pearls. They were further decorated by fans made of peacock
feathers and by other fans also. The soldiers, their upper and
lower garments waving in the breeze, naturally looked very
beautiful, and in the light of the glittering sunshine their shields,
ornaments and sharp, clean weapons appeared dazzling. Thus the
ranks of soldiers seemed like two oceans with bands of aquatics.
