Then the sky was ceaselessly filled with arrows of many kinds, like a mass of clouds as the sunlight wanes, thick with garlands of lightning.
By the speed of the arrows with sharp heads, with plumes of eagles, the shower of extremely pointed arrows covering the sky made it dark and seemed like windows in the sky.
The imagery conveys how war can darken the world itself; dharma aims to end such disorder and restore clarity, safety, and truth (satya).
The exchange of missiles becomes so dense that it visually transforms the sky.
Not a single virtue is explicit; the verse emphasizes the scale of conflict, against which dharmic resolution becomes urgent.
