विश्वामित्रो जमदग्निर्भरद्वाजो5थ गौतम: । वसिष्ठ: कश्यपोअत्रिक्ष ब्रह्मलोक॑ निनीषव:,विश्वामित्र, जमदग्नि, भरद्वाज, गौतम, वसिष्ठ, कश्यप और अत्रि--ये सब लोग उन्हें ब्रह्मलोक ले जानेकी इच्छासे वहाँ पधारे थे
viśvāmitro jamadagnir bharadvājo 'tha gautamaḥ | vasiṣṭhaḥ kaśyapo 'trir ca brahmalokaṃ ninīṣavaḥ ||
Sañjaya said: Viśvāmitra, Jamadagni, Bharadvāja, Gautama, Vasiṣṭha, Kaśyapa, and Atri—these great seers arrived there, intent on escorting him to Brahmaloka. Their coming signals the recognition of a life’s spiritual merit even amid the harshness of war, and frames the moment as one where righteous destiny and higher worlds are invoked beyond immediate battlefield outcomes.

Educational Q&A
Even within a war narrative, the text highlights a moral and spiritual order: great seers appear as witnesses and guides, implying that righteous merit and destined spiritual attainment (such as reaching Brahmaloka) can transcend the immediate violence and grief of the battlefield.
Sañjaya reports that a group of eminent ṛṣis—Viśvāmitra and others—arrive with the intention of taking a particular person to Brahmaloka, marking the moment as one of exaltation and transition rather than merely a battlefield event.
