Shloka 37
संध्यां तिष्ठत्सु सैन्येषु सूर्यस्पोदयन प्रति । प्रावात् सपृषतो वायुर्निरभ्रे स््तनयित्नुमान्,सूर्योदयके समय जब सभी सैनिक संध्योपासना कर रहे थे, बिना बादलके ही पानीकी बूँदोंके साथ हवा चलने लगी। उसके साथ मेघकी-सी गर्जना भी होती थी
saṃdhyāṃ tiṣṭhatsu sainyeṣu sūryasyodayanaṃ prati | prāvāt sapṛṣato vāyur nirabhre stanayitnumān ||
Wika ni Sanjaya: Nang ang mga hukbo ay nakatayo at nagsasagawa ng mga ritwal sa dapithapon, nakaharap sa pagsikat ng araw, may hanging umihip na may dalang pinong patak ng tubig; kahit walang ulap ang langit, umuugong ito na parang kulog—isang masamang pangitain sa bisperas ng labanan.
