Kubera-prasāda-vihāra and Counsel on Ajñātavāsa (कुबेरप्रसादविहारः तथा अज्ञातवासोपदेशः)
व्यपयातेषु दैत्येषु प्रादुर्भूते च दर्शने । अपश्यं दानवांस्तत्र हतान् शतसहसत्रश:,दैत्योंक भाग जानेसे जब वहाँ सब कुछ स्पष्ट दिखायी देने लगा, तब मैंने देखा, लाखों दानव वहाँ मरे पड़े थे
vyapayāteṣu daityeṣu prādurbhūte ca darśane | apaśyaṃ dānavāṃs tatra hatān śatasahasraśaḥ ||
Arjuna said: “When the Daityas had withdrawn and clear vision manifested again, I saw there—strewn upon the ground—Dānavas slain in hundreds of thousands.”

The verse underscores the ethical gravity of violence: when confusion or concealment passes and perception becomes clear, one must face the real consequences of conflict—death in vast numbers—inviting sober reflection rather than triumphalism.
Arjuna reports that after the Daityas withdraw and visibility returns, he looks around and sees the battlefield (or scene of conflict) filled with Dānavas lying dead in immense numbers.
