कर्णेन युधिष्ठिरानीकविदारणम् / Karṇa’s Breach of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Battle-Line
ततो देवगणा: सर्वे सिद्धाश्ष परमर्षय:
tato devagaṇāḥ sarve siddhāś ca paramarṣayaḥ
Kemudian seluruh bala dewa, bersama para Siddha dan para resi agung yang tertinggi, pun berhimpun/menampakkan diri—seolah-olah tatanan kosmos sendiri hadir menjadi saksi kepada peristiwa yang sedang terungkap dan beban moralnya.

The verse signals that actions in the great war are not merely human affairs: divine and perfected beings are portrayed as witnesses, implying that dharma and adharma have cosmic significance and that moral causality extends beyond immediate battlefield outcomes.
A celestial assembly is introduced: the gods, Siddhas, and great seers appear/are present, typically to observe, approve, lament, or pronounce on the extraordinary events about to occur or just occurring in the battle narrative.
