For general readership, it is pointed out that there are many mis-translations in the Ganguli's translation of Mahabharata. One has to be careful in reading and depending too much on Ganguli at some places in his translation. Satbir Singh 00:50, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Mahabharata verses 7.23.42-44.

(MBH Gorakhpore Rec., 7.23.42-44)

• The translation of above passage by Kisari Mohan Ganguli [1883-1896] appears at the following website [1]. But many other scholars have translated the same verses differently. See the following:

"The six thousands Prabhadrarakastu (handsome) Kamboja soldiers, resembling Yama (god of death) in fearful bearing and Kuber in riches (Vaisravana= Kuber, the god of riches), riding on the their golden chariots pulled by excellent steeds of the Parama Kamboja breed of diverse hues and decked with chains of gold, striking fear into the hearts of the hostile soldiers, with upraised weapons, with stretched bows and making their foes tremble with their showers of arrows and resolved to die together followed Dhristadyumna".
