तेन संनादशब्देन लोकानां क्षोभ आगमत् | संत्रस्ताश्न भृशं लोके देवा: शक्रपुरोगमा:,उस भीषण गर्जनासे समस्त लोकोंमें हलचल मच गयी। स्वर्गलोकमें इन्द्र आदि देवता भी अत्यन्त भयभीत हो उठे
tena saṃnādaśabdena lokānāṃ kṣobha āgamat | saṃtrastāś ca bhṛśaṃ loke devāḥ śakrapurogamāḥ ||
Dijo Bhīṣma: «Por aquel rugido atronador y reverberante, una gran conmoción se alzó en todos los mundos. Incluso los dioses—encabezados por Śakra (Indra)—fueron presa de un temor intenso.»

A terrifying, thunder-like roar resounds, causing turmoil across the worlds; even the gods, with Indra at their head, become deeply frightened by the magnitude of the sound and its ominous implication.
