Educational Q&A

The verse highlights that certain actions—especially in the extreme moral and physical pressure of war—can exceed ordinary expectations and evoke awe even in celestial observers, reminding the listener that consequences and significance may be far greater than what human eyes alone can gauge.

Sañjaya reports that an extraordinary, almost unimaginable feat has just been witnessed; its marvel is so great that even the celestial Cāraṇas and Siddhas react with profound astonishment.
