Chapter 19: Prativyūha of the Pāṇḍavas — Vajra (Acala) Formation and Dawn Omens
संध्यां तिष्ठत्सु सैन्येषु सूर्यस्पोदयन प्रति । प्रावात् सपृषतो वायुर्निरभ्रे स््तनयित्नुमान्,सूर्योदयके समय जब सभी सैनिक संध्योपासना कर रहे थे, बिना बादलके ही पानीकी बूँदोंके साथ हवा चलने लगी। उसके साथ मेघकी-सी गर्जना भी होती थी
saṃdhyāṃ tiṣṭhatsu sainyeṣu sūryasyodayanaṃ prati | prāvāt sapṛṣato vāyur nirabhre stanayitnumān ||
ସଞ୍ଜୟ କହିଲେ—ସୂର୍ଯ୍ୟୋଦୟ ଦିଗକୁ ମୁହଁ କରି ସମସ୍ତ ସେନା ସନ୍ଧ୍ୟାକ୍ରିୟାରେ ଦଣ୍ଡାୟମାନ ଥିବାବେଳେ, ମେଘହୀନ ଆକାଶରେ ମଧ୍ୟ ଜଳକଣା ସହିତ ପବନ ବହିଲା; ମେଘଗର୍ଜନା ସଦୃଶ ଧ୍ୱନି ମଧ୍ୟ ହେଲା।

Even amid impending violence, the warriors observe Sandhyā worship, showing the continued presence of ritual duty; yet nature’s abnormal signs suggest that moral disorder and massive destruction are near, reminding readers that adharma in conflict invites ominous consequences.
At sunrise time, while the assembled armies are performing their Sandhyā rites facing the rising sun, an unusual wind blows with water droplets and thunder-like rumbling despite a cloudless sky—presented as a portent on the battlefield.
