Wika ni Vaiśampāyana: “Sila at marami pang iba—sa dami’y hindi na mabanggit ang mga pangalan—ay pawang may mga katawang nagniningning, at umahon mula sa tubig na iyon.”

The verse highlights collective remembrance and moral closure: countless lives were lost in the war, and even when individuals are not named, they remain part of the ethical and karmic totality. Their radiant reappearance suggests a movement beyond mere historical casualty lists toward a dharmic reckoning and reconciliation with the consequences of violence.
Vaiśampāyana reports that, besides those already listed, many more warriors—too numerous to name—also manifested. All of them rose from the water with shining bodies, indicating a supernatural or otherworldly emergence connected to the post-war events of Āśramavāsika.
