Chapter 14: Divyāstra-Prayoga and Ṛṣi Intervention (दिव्यास्त्रप्रयोगः ऋषिसमागमश्च)
ते त्वस्त्रतेजसी लोकांस्तापयन्ती व्यवस्थिते । महर्षी सहितौ तत्र दर्शयामासतुस्तदा
te tv astratejasī lokāṁs tāpayantī vyavasthite | maharṣī sahitau tatra darśayām āsatus tadā ||
Vaiśampāyana berkata: Kedua-duanya berdiri teguh di situ, menyala dengan kuasa api senjata, membakar dunia-dunia. Pada saat itu juga, di tempat itu, mereka menampakkan diri bersama sebagai para maharṣi.

Unchecked martial power (astratejas) can become a cosmic threat; dharma requires restraint and higher wisdom to intervene when violence exceeds moral limits.
Two beings, blazing with weapon-like energy and causing widespread burning/affliction, are described as standing firm; then two great seers appear together in that place, signaling an intervention to address the dangerous escalation.
