Saubha-vimāna and Māyā-yuddha
तत: प्रववृते युद्धं शाल्वानां यदुभि: सह । यथासुराणां विबुधैस्तुमुलं लोमहर्षणम् ॥ १६ ॥
tataḥ pravavṛte yuddhaṁ śālvānāṁ yadubhiḥ saha yathāsurāṇāṁ vibudhais tumulaṁ loma-harṣaṇam
Pagkaraan, sumiklab ang isang magulo at nakapanlulumong labanan sa pagitan ng hukbo ni Śālva at ng mga Yadu, na tulad ng mga dakilang digmaan ng mga deva at asura.
FAQs
This verse says the war erupted fiercely between Śālva’s forces and the Yadus, so terrifying and thunderous that it resembled the legendary devas-versus-asuras conflict.

Even when life becomes “tumultuous,” a devotee remembers that the Lord’s protection of dharma continues; one should stay steady, take shelter of devotion, and act responsibly amid upheaval.
