| O King, some soldiers fought on the backs of vultures, eagles, ducks, hawks and bhāsa birds. Some fought on the backs of timiṅgilas, which can devour huge whales, some on the backs of śarabhas, and some on buffalo, rhinoceroses, cows, bulls, jungle cows and aruṇas. Others fought on the backs of jackals, rats, lizards, rabbits, human beings, goats, black deer, swans and boars. In this way, mounted on animals of the water, land and sky, including animals with deformed bodies, both armies faced each other and went forward. | | | ¡Oh, rey!, algunos soldados luchaban montados en buitres, águilas, patos, halcones y aves bhāsa. Otros iban montados en peces timiṅgilas, que pueden devorar grandes ballenas, o cabalgaban en śarabhas, búfalos, rinocerontes, vacas, toros, vacas salvajes y aruṇas. Otros luchaban montados en chacales, ratas, lagartos, conejos, seres humanos, cabras, ciervos negros, cisnes y jabalíes. Así, montados en animales de agua, de tierra y del cielo, e incluso en animales con cuerpos deformes, ambos ejércitos avanzaban el uno contra el otro. | |
