A Prose English Translation of the Mahabharata (Translated Literally from the Original Sanskrit Text) - Sauptika Parva

Sanjaya attributes his success to the absence of the Pandavas with Krishna and the sleep of the warriors—p. [...] The loud sound of their instruments mingled with the blare of conchs is fearful to the ear and carried by the winds is ding all the points of the horizon. [...] Loud also is the neighing of their steeds and the grunting of their elephants and the roaring of their warriors. [...] You are quite competent to defeat the army of the Panchalas in battle like the destroyer of the Danavas in defeating in anger the Danava army. [...] I am informed by the messengers of the defeat of my friends and the victory of the Pandavas.
