Shloka 37
त्वदीयानां तदा युद्धे संसक्तानां जयैषिणाम् | गिरिमस्तं समासाद्य प्रत्यपद्यत भानुमान्,इस प्रकार जब आपके विजयाभिलाषी सैनिक युद्धमें संलग्न हो रहे थे, उसी समय सूर्यदेव अस्ताचल पहुँचकर डूब गये
tvadīyānāṁ tadā yuddhe saṁsaktānāṁ jayaiṣiṇām | girim astaṁ samāsādya pratyapadyata bhānumān ||
ਉਸੇ ਵੇਲੇ, ਜਦੋਂ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਜਿੱਤ ਦੇ ਇੱਛੁਕ ਸਿਪਾਹੀ ਯੁੱਧ ਵਿੱਚ ਗੁੱਥੇ ਹੋਏ ਸਨ, ਭਾਨੁਮਾਨ ਸੂਰਜ ਅਸਤ ਪਹਾੜ ਨੂੰ ਪਹੁੰਚ ਕੇ ਨਜ਼ਰੋਂ ਓਝਲ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ।

Even in a war driven by the desire for victory, human action is constrained by larger rhythms—time, daylight, and cosmic order. The sunset functions as a moral and practical boundary, tempering relentless aggression and signaling a pause that can invite reflection and restraint.
As the Kaurava forces are actively engaged in battle and striving for victory, the Sun sets behind the western mountain/horizon. This marks the close of the day’s fighting and serves as a transition point in Sañjaya’s report to Dhṛtarāṣṭra.
