rajomeghās tu saṃjajñuḥ śastravidyuddhirāvṛtāḥ | dhanuṣāṃ cāpi nirghoṣo dāruṇaḥ samapadyata ||
ສັນຊະຍະໄດ້ກ່າວວ່າ: ເມກຝຸ່ນລຸກຂຶ້ນ ປົກຄຸມສະໜາມຮົບຢ່າງໜາແໜ້ນທ່າມກາງສຽງປະທະຂອງອາວຸດ; ແລະສຽງຄຳຮ້ອງອັນນ່າຢ້ານຂອງຄັນທະນູກໍເຕັມໄປທົ່ວອາກາດ—ເປັນໝາຍວ່າສົງຄາມໄດ້ພຸ່ງເຂົ້າສູ່ຄວາມດຸເດືອດຢ່າງເຕັມທີ່ແລ້ວ.

Educational Q&A
The verse offers a sober, sensory portrayal of war’s escalation: confusion (dust), danger (weapon-flash), and fear (dreadful roar). Ethically, it underscores how battle overwhelms clarity and peace, reminding the listener that violence rapidly becomes all-encompassing once unleashed.
Sañjaya reports that the fighting has intensified: dust rises like clouds, the field is obscured amid flashing weapons, and the terrifying sound of bows reverberates—marking the full onset of fierce combat.
