サンジャヤは言った。「すると風は鎮まり、十方は澄みわたり静謐となった。大王よ、ドローナ・アーチャールヤが戦いにおいて山岳のアストラを用いるや、空気は静まり、四方の界は清められた。そののち、パーンドゥの勇なる子は、密集して進むトリガルタの戦車隊へと向き直った。」

The verse highlights how the use of powerful astras affects not only combatants but the very environment; when the weapon's force passes, calm and clarity return. Ethically, it underscores the Mah01bh01rata's recurring tension: extraordinary power in war demands restraint, because its consequences extend beyond immediate targets.
Sanjaya reports to the king that after Dro 47a deploys the Parvat01stra, the wind settles and the ten directions become clear. Immediately after this atmospheric change, the narrative turns to the P01 47 0du-suta (likely Arjuna) moving against the assembled chariot-forces of the Trigartas.
