मुसलैर्मुसलोदाराः कुन्तिनः कुन्तिधारिभिः ।
ऋष्ट्यायुधा ऋष्टिधरैः प्रासिभिः प्रासपाणयः ॥ १२ ॥

musalairmusalodārāḥ kuntinaḥ kuntidhāribhiḥ |
ṛṣṭyāyudhā ṛṣṭidharaiḥ prāsibhiḥ prāsapāṇayaḥ || 12 ||

Maces were opposed to maces (musalas), and lancers were set against the lance bearers (kuntas) in fighting. Spearmen braved the spearmen (rishtis), and the throwers of missiles were crossed with missives (prasas) in hand.
