Sañjaya sprach: Dann, als jene vom Kampf erhitzten Krieger aufeinander zustürmten, erhob sich ein gewaltiges Dröhnen und breitete sich in alle Himmelsrichtungen aus—o Bhārata, Wonne der Bharatas. Der Zusammenprall der Heere, getrieben von Zorn und Pflicht, erfüllte die Welt mit dem Klang des nahenden Gemetzels.

Educational Q&A

The verse underscores the moral gravity of war: when warriors, inflamed by passion and obligation, collide, the result is an all-consuming tumult. It hints at how collective anger and duty-driven violence can overwhelm the world, inviting reflection on restraint and the cost of kṣatriya conflict.

As the opposing forces charge at each other on the battlefield, a massive din—shouts, weapon-clashes, and war-cries—erupts and spreads in every direction. Sañjaya reports this to Dhṛtarāṣṭra, marking the escalation into full combat.
