द्रोणपर्व — पञ्चदशोऽध्यायः (Droṇa Parva, Chapter 15): युधिष्ठिर-रक्षा तथा अर्जुनस्य शरवृष्टिः
आश्चर्यभूतं लोकेषु कथयिष्यन्ति मानवा: । कुरूणां पाण्डवानां च युद्ध देवासुरोपमम्,देवताओं और असुरोंके समान इस कौरव-पाण्डव-युद्धको संसारके मनुष्य अत्यन्त आश्चर्यकी वस्तु बतायेंगे
āścaryabhūtaṁ lokeṣu kathayiṣyanti mānavāḥ | kurūṇāṁ pāṇḍavānāṁ ca yuddhaṁ devāsuropamam ||
সঞ্জয় ক’লে—জগতত মানুহে এই কুরু-পাণ্ডৱৰ যুদ্ধক এক মহা আশ্চৰ্য বুলি ক’ব; দেৱ-অসুৰৰ যুদ্ধৰ ন্যায়।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how extraordinary, world-shaping conflicts become moral and cultural memory: the Kurus–Pāṇḍavas war is portrayed as so intense and consequential that later generations will recount it with awe, as if it were a cosmic struggle between devas and asuras.
Sañjaya, reporting events to Dhṛtarāṣṭra, characterizes the ongoing battle as unprecedented and destined to be widely narrated. He emphasizes its scale by likening it to mythic wars of gods and demons.
