चचालाथ सनिर्लहादा दिशश्वैवाविलाभवन् । उस समय समुद्र, वन और चराचर प्राणियोंसहित यह पृथ्वी भयानक रूपसे हिलने लगी। सब ओर वज्रकी-सी गर्जना होने लगी और सारी दिशाएँ मलिन हो गयीं

サञ्जयは言った。すると大地は、海も森も、動くもの動かぬものすべてを伴って、恐るべきさまに震えはじめた。金剛（ヴァジュラ）の一撃にも似た轟きが四方に鳴り渡り、諸方位はことごとく翳って濁り、まるで戦場に現れた暴虐を前に、自然そのものが身を退いたかのようであった。

The verse frames war as a moral rupture whose effects are not merely human but cosmic: when adharma and mass violence peak, nature is portrayed as reacting with ominous signs. It cautions that actions against dharma disturb the wider order (ṛta/dharma), and consequences reverberate beyond the immediate actors.
Sañjaya reports a terrifying omen: the earth shakes, thunder roars like Indra’s vajra, and the directions turn dim. Such portents typically mark a climactic, catastrophic moment in the battle—signaling impending destruction and the gravity of what is occurring.
