Transliteration
tato digbhyaḥ samāpetuḥ siṁha-vyāghra-tarakṣavaḥ | agnijihvā nāśva-bhujagā vihagāś cāpy ayomukhāḥ ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: Then, from all directions, lions, tigers, and tarakṣus (hyenas) surged in; fiery-tongued serpents and iron-beaked birds also began to attack. The scene conveys a war-vision of nature itself turning predatory—an ominous sign that adharma and uncontrolled violence have made the battlefield a place where fear and destruction multiply from every side.
