Shloka 92
इन्द्र और शम्बरासुरके समान एक-दूसरेसे डाह रखनेवाले उन दोनों वीरोंमें उस समय घोर युद्ध आरम्भ हुआ, जो कायरोंके हृदयमें भय उत्पन्न करनेवाला था ।। तयोर्ध्वजी वीतमलौ शुशुभाते रथे स्थितौ । राहुकेतू यथा55काशे उदितौ जगत: क्षये,उन दोनोंके रथोंपर निर्मल ध्वजाएँ शोभा पा रही थीं, मानो संसारके प्रलयकालमें आकाशकमें राहु और केतु दोनों ग्रह उदित हुए हों

Educational Q&A
The verse contrasts inner disposition with outer valor: rancor and mutual envy can drive even great heroes into terrifying conflict, while true courage is implicitly measured by steadiness of heart—since the battle is said to frighten the cowardly. The ominous Rahu–Ketu imagery also suggests that hatred-fueled war carries a shadow of cosmic disorder and moral peril.
Sanjaya describes the onset of a fierce duel between two renowned warriors who bear mutual hostility. Their chariots, crowned with spotless banners, appear striking and portentous—likened to Rahu and Ketu rising together at the time of cosmic dissolution—signaling the dreadful intensity of the encounter.
