**Padma Purana**
"Even though the head of someone filled with pride was cut off, he continued to bite his lips and roar, falling down only after a long time. || 293 || Another warrior, who seemed like a snake, cast a terrifying glance like a meteor upon his opponent as he fell. || 294 || One valiant warrior held his half-severed head with his left hand and with his right hand, he cut off the head of his opponent and threw it down. || 295 || Another warrior, whose weapon could not reach his enemy, threw it in anger and was ready to kill him with his long arms like a club. || 296 || One compassionate warrior saw his enemy lying unconscious. When he could not find water or other means to revive him, he, filled with anxiety, began to sprinkle his own blood, cooled by the air from the edge of his garment, upon him. || 297 || When the brave warriors fainted, they thought they had found rest; when they were wounded by weapons, they thought they had found pleasure; and when they died, they thought they had achieved their purpose. || 298 || Thus, a great battle was raging, a battle that terrified even fear itself and was eager to bring joy to the best of men. || 299 || Where elephants were pulling valiant men towards them with their trunks, but those valiant men were cutting off their trunks. Where men were eager to cut the horses, but those swift horses were throwing them down with the blows of their hooves. || 300 || Where horses, urged on by their charioteers, were pulling chariots, but their bodies were being wounded. Where headless elephants lay fallen and men were walking over them. || 301 || Where the bodies of foot soldiers were being shattered by the forceful blows of each other. Where valiant warriors were pulling the tails of horses with their hands so hard that they stood still. || 302 || Where the temples of elephants were being split by the blows of hands and pearls were falling out of them. Where chariots were being broken by falling elephants and many warriors were being injured. || 303 ||
