Sañjaya berkata: Wahai Raja, di antara kedua putramu bangkitlah pertempuran yang dahsyat dan membuat bulu kuduk berdiri—pertempuran yang akan mengakhiri permusuhan mereka. Setelah itu, benturan kian memuncak, bergerak tak terelakkan menuju penutup yang menentukan dan membawa kebinasaan.

Unchecked enmity (vaira) tends to culminate in destructive conflict; when hatred is allowed to mature, it seeks a final resolution not through reconciliation but through ruin. The verse underscores the ethical warning that hostility, once entrenched, drives events toward an irreversible and tragic end.
Sañjaya reports to King Dhṛtarāṣṭra that a terrifying, climactic battle has begun between the king’s two sons, described as one that will end their mutual feud—implying a decisive confrontation with fatal consequences.
