Concept: Time (kāla) and yuga-sandhi are instruments through which unresolved enmities and duties reappear; encounters are not random but arranged within cosmic order.

FAQs
It refers to a transitional period between two yugas (world-ages). The verse frames that transition as a time when a major conflict is destined to occur.
By saying “in another birth,” the verse presents future events—such as a major battle—as unfolding across lifetimes, implying continuity of karmic relationships and unresolved conflicts.
It cautions that actions and enmities can carry forward and ripen later; therefore one should cultivate restraint, reconciliation, and dharmic conduct to avoid perpetuating future suffering.
