The verse frames the impending battle as a cosmic, age-ending convergence, implying that collective choices and accumulated adharma can make conflict feel inevitable and world-altering, not merely personal or political.
The narrator describes the two opposing forces coming together on the battlefield; their encounter is compared to two seas meeting at the end of a yuga, emphasizing the scale and dread of the moment.
