Shloka 96
शशाड्कसूर्याविव मेघनि:स्वनै- विरिजतुस्तौ पुरषर्षभौ तदा | दोनों दलोंमें होती हुई मृदंग
śaśāṅka-sūryāv iva megha-niḥsvanaiḥ virajatuḥ tau puruṣarṣabhau tadā |
قال سنجيا: وسط هديرٍ عميقٍ كقصف السحاب من طبول الحرب—المِردنغا، والبهيري، والپَنَڤا، والآنَكا—أطلق هذان، وهما من خيرة الرجال، زئيرين عظيمين كزئير الأسد. وفي تلك اللحظة تلألآ كالقمر والشمس إذا طلعَا معًا، مشعَّين مهيبين في ساحة القتال.

The verse highlights the kṣatriya ideal of fearless resolve and public responsibility in battle: true leaders steady their side through courage and presence, symbolized by radiant imagery (moon and sun) and the disciplined, collective rhythm of martial instruments.
Sañjaya describes two great warriors on the battlefield. As drums and war-instruments thunder like clouds, the two heroes roar like lions and appear brilliantly radiant—compared to the moon and sun rising—signaling the escalation and intensity of the combat scene.
