अथ युद्धेभिविरते नदत्सु रिपुमंत्रिषु । नगर्यां युद्ध्यमानायां जाते कोलाहले रवे
atha yuddhebhivirate nadatsu ripumaṃtriṣu | nagaryāṃ yuddhyamānāyāṃ jāte kolāhale rave

Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) (deduced)

War amplifies suffering beyond the battlefield, spilling into civic life as fear and disorder.
None; the verse depicts a city in crisis, not a pilgrimage setting.
None.
