Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 130: Kuntī’s Instruction on Rājadharma and Daṇḍanīti
लोकपाला भुजेष्वासन्नग्निरास्यादजायत । आदित्याश्रैव साध्याक्ष वसवो<थाश्विनावपि
lokapālā bhujēṣv āsann agnir āsyād ajāyata | ādityāś caiva sādhyāś ca vasavo 'thāśvināv api |
Vaiśampāyana said: The guardians of the worlds were stationed upon his arms, and from his mouth fire sprang forth. The Ādityas, the Sādhyas, the Vasus, and the two Aśvins also manifested—an awe-filled theophany in which cosmic powers gather within a single form, declaring that the coming conflict is being weighed on a universal scale of dharma, not merely by human ambition.

The verse frames the unfolding events within a cosmic moral order: when divine classes and world-guardians are shown as present in a single form, it implies that dharma—not personal power—stands as the ultimate measure, and that the impending war is under universal scrutiny.
A vision of overwhelming, divine presence is described: the Lokapālas are said to be on the arms, fire issues from the mouth, and major celestial groups (Ādityas, Sādhyas, Vasus, Aśvins) appear—depicting a superhuman form in which many gods are revealed as constituents or attendants.
