Parāśara’s Counsel on बुद्धि (Discernment), Karma-Consequences, and Avoidance of Pāpānubandha Actions
ततो नाद: समभवद् वादित्राणां च निःस्वन: । देवासुराणां सर्वेषां तस्मिन् युद्धे ह्ुपस्थिते
tato nādaḥ samabhavad vāditrāṇāṃ ca niḥsvanaḥ | devāsurāṇāṃ sarveṣāṃ tasmin yuddhe hy upasthite ||
បន្ទាប់មក សំឡេងគំហុកដ៏ធំបានកើតឡើង—សូរស័ព្ទរំពងរបស់វាទិត្រ និងស្គរសង្គ្រាម—នៅពេលសង្គ្រាមរវាងព្រះទាំងអស់ និងអសុរាទាំងអស់ បានចូលរួមប្រយុទ្ធពេញលេញ។
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse underscores how the onset of war is marked not only by physical preparations but by an irreversible moral moment: once the battle is joined, one’s dharma—courage, discipline, and restraint—faces its decisive trial amid overwhelming noise and excitement.
Bhishma describes the battle’s commencement: as the devas and asuras confront one another, the loud roar and reverberation of instruments and martial sounds rise, signaling that the conflict has fully begun.
