aruṇasya tu tasyānu jātarūpasamaprabham | raśmijālaṃ mahācandro mandaṃ mandam avāsṛjat |

Translation

Sanjaya said: Following that Aruṇa, the great Moon began to release—slowly, little by little—a vast net of rays, shining with the splendor of molten gold. In the midst of war’s darkness, the gradual spreading of moonlight signals a measured return of visibility and steadiness, as if nature itself resumes its ordered course after turmoil.
