मायानदीजलधियोधघनाग्निदाहैर्वृक्षैः सुरासुरशवैरचलैः शिलोच्चैः ।

bhrānteḥ śarāsiśitaśaktigadāstraśastrairvātāvakīrṇavanaparṇavadantarantaḥ || 27 ||

The sky appeared as an ocean of illusion, burning with the bodies of the warriors like flaming trees, and rolling in surges of the dead bodies of the gods and demons, floating on it like mountains; while the skirts of the earth, seemed as forest, made by the clubs and lances and spears, and many other weapons incessantly falling upon them.
