Translation

Sañjaya said: A mighty sound, deep as the rumbling of cloud-laden skies, rose up and seemed to touch the very heavens. That resounding din awakened Yudhiṣṭhira, the foremost of kings, who had been asleep—signaling how the war’s instruments and omens intrude even upon a righteous ruler’s brief refuge in rest.
