tatastau sumahāyuddhe saṃsaktau devadaityayauḥ | dharmādharmāvivodagrau jagadāścaryakārakau
मग त्या सुमहायुद्धात देव आणि दैत्य परस्पर घट्ट भिडले—जणू धर्म व अधर्मच रणात उभे—आणि सर्व जगाला आश्चर्यचकित करणारे झाले।
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating to the sages

Human history mirrors a larger metaphysical struggle: dharma and adharma contend, but dharma’s champion ultimately prevails.
