04056005c tvayA ca kurubhiz caiva dravantIva dizo daza by thee and the kurus, all the directions seem to be whirling before my eyes.
note: This zloka stinks. Ganguli thinks that prayujyatAm is ArSam for prayujyamAnAnAm "that are used", but I doubt that, because nIlakaNTha doesn't say so. Also, prabhAvas should be prabhAvAt maybe?
04056006a gandhena mUrchitaz cAhaM vasArudhiramedasAm I have been deprived of my senses by the stench of fat and blood and flesh.

04056012a nAdadAnanM na sanMdhAnanM na muJcantam zarottamAn When thou takest up thy excellent arrows, when thou fixest them on the bow-string, and when thou lettest them off,
note: saMdhAnam is ArSam for saMdadhAnam "attaching (to the bow-string)".
04056012c tvAm ahaM samMprapazyAmi pazyann api na cetanaH I fail to see it. And though all this is done before my eyes, yet, deprived of my senses, I do not see it.
