হে পাৰ্থ! তেওঁৰ ধনুৰ্জ্যাৰ সেই ঘোৰ ধ্বনিত সকলো লোক ব্যাকুল হৈ উঠিল। সকলোৱে অসহায় হৈ পৰিল, আৰু দেৱ-অসুৰ উভয়েই বিষাদত নিমগ্ন হ’ল।

The verse highlights how a single manifestation of concentrated strength can reshape the morale of entire realms: power is not merely physical but also psychological and cosmic in its effects. It implicitly cautions that force—especially in a dharmic context—carries wide consequences, stirring fear, helplessness, and despair even among exalted beings.
Vāyudeva addresses Pārtha (Arjuna) and describes the overwhelming impact of a bowstring’s thunderous twang. That sound agitates all worlds, leaving beings helpless, and causes both devas and asuras to fall into dejection—signaling the extraordinary might and ominous intensity of the moment.
