Commentary
26 — 27. And all the sons of Dhritarash/ra, with hosts of princes, Bhishma, Dronz and that son (Kama) of a charioteer, with the warrior chiefs of ours, enter hurrying into Thy mouth, terrible with tusks and fearful to behold. Some are found sticking in the gaps betwixt the teeth with their heads crushed to powder.
