परस्परं रथशत भज्यमाना पश्यितु हतां महिं प्रकम्पमानां ।
ते निर्मिणित्वा विकृतात्मभावां उपसंक्रमेन्सुः वरपादपेन्द्रं ।
न ते पुराणां प्रतिलभेन्सु रूपां सर्वे अभून्सुः भयभीतरूपा ॥ २४५ ॥

parasparaṃ rathaśata bhajyamānā paśyitu hatāṃ mahiṃ prakampamānāṃ |
te nirmiṇitvā vikṛtātmabhāvāṃ upasaṃkramensuḥ varapādapendraṃ |
na te purāṇāṃ pratilabhensu rūpāṃ sarve abhūnsuḥ bhayabhītarūpā || 245 ||

Hundreds of chariots were dashed to pieces against one another, and now they saw the great earth heaving. They fashioned for themselves changed bodies, and assailed the noble lord of trees. But they did not achieve the forms of the heroes of old; they were all forms cowed with fear. (245)
