Sañjaya disse: Exultantes, os seres celestes fizeram chover perfumadas chuvas de flores de muitas espécies, e fizeram soar os instrumentos divinos. Assim termina, no Mahābhārata, no Karṇa Parva, o octogésimo sétimo capítulo sobre o encontro e o duelo de carros entre Karṇa e Arjuna.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how epic events are framed on two levels: human warfare with its heavy moral cost, and a cosmic perspective where extraordinary valor and destiny are acknowledged through divine signs (flower-showers and celestial music).
Sañjaya reports that the gods, delighted, shower fragrant flowers of many kinds and play heavenly instruments, marking the climactic meeting/engagement of Karṇa and Arjuna in their chariot-battle context as the chapter concludes.
