स शब्दो भरतश्रेष्ठ व्याप्य सर्वा दिशो दश । प्रतिसस्वान तत्रैव कुरुपाण्डवयोर्बले
Transliteration
sa śabdo bharataśreṣṭha vyāpya sarvā diśo daśa | pratisaśvāna tatraiva kurupāṇḍavayor bale ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: O best of the Bharatas, that sound spread through all ten directions and, right there on the field, echoed back again and again amid the armies of the Kurus and the Pāṇḍavas. In the moral atmosphere of the war, the reverberation suggests how every violent act and martial signal multiplies its consequences, returning upon both sides who are bound by duty yet caught in destruction.
