Duryodhana-vadha-pratikriyā: Harṣa, Nindā, and Kṛṣṇa’s Nīti-vyākhyā (Śalya-parva 60)
सितासितौ यदुवरौ शुशुभाते5डधिकं तदा । (संगताविव राजेन्द्र कैलासाञ्जनपर्वतौ ।।) नभोगतौ यथा राजंश्रन्द्रसूयों दिनक्षये,राजेन्द्र! वे श्याम-गौर यदुकुलतिलक दोनों भाई परस्पर मिले हुए कैलास और कज्जल पर्वतोंके समान शोभा पा रहे थे। राजन! संध्याकालके आकाशमें जैसे चन्द्रमा और सूर्य उदित हुए हों, वैसे ही उस रणक्षेत्रमें वे दोनों भाई सुशोभित हो रहे थे

サञ्जयは言った。大王よ、その時ヤドゥ族の双璧たる二人の英雄――一人は白く、一人は黒く――はいよいよ輝きを増し、並び立つカイラーサ山と暗きアンジャナ山のようであった。王よ、戦場におけるその姿は、日暮れの空に月と太陽が同時に現れるかのごとくであり、戦が宿命の結末へ近づくにつれて、畏敬と法（ダルマ）の重みをいっそう際立たせた。

The verse uses cosmic and geographic contrasts (white/dark; Kailāsa/Añjana; moon/sun at twilight) to convey that true greatness can appear as a harmonious union of opposites. In the ethical atmosphere of the Mahābhārata war, such imagery underscores the awe and seriousness of dharma’s unfolding—power and beauty are not mere ornament, but signs that decisive, morally weighty moments have arrived.
Sañjaya describes two eminent Yadu heroes—one fair and one dark—standing together and shining on the battlefield. Their paired presence is likened first to two mountains (bright Kailāsa and dark Añjana) and then to the moon and sun appearing together at dusk, emphasizing their striking, almost otherworldly prominence amid the war.
