As the two fought on, that resounding roar blazed forth—like the deep rumbling of two ominous clouds reverberating across the sky.
When both of them were thus fighting, the exceedingly frightening sound that was heard was like the murmur of clouds.
Dharma is implied through the measured depiction of war: even in violence, the epic emphasizes order, observation, and truthful narration—conflict is portrayed without glamorizing cruelty.
