Chapter 20
ततो व्योम महाराज शतसूर्यमिवाभवत् । शतचन्द्रं च कौन्तेय सहस्नायुततारकम्,कुन्तीपुत्र महाराज युधिष्ठिर! इसके बाद आकाश सौ सूर्योसे उदभासित-सा दिखायी देने लगा। उसमें सैकड़ों चन्द्रमा और करोड़ों तारे दिखायी देने लगे
tato vyoma mahārāja śatasūryam ivābhavat | śatacandraṃ ca kaunteya sahasrāyutatārakam ||
Pagkaraan, O dakilang hari, ang langit ay wari’y naliliwanagan ng sandaang araw. O anak ni Kuntī, nagningning din ito sa sandaang buwan at sa mga bituing libo-libo at sampu-sampung libo ang bilang—isang nakapanghihilakbot na pagpapakita sa kalangitan na hudyat ng pasyang pagliko ng kapalaran na may bigat ng kapangyarihang banal.

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes how extraordinary cosmic signs can mark moments of divine intervention or moral turning points; it invites the listener to recognize that dharmic events may be accompanied by awe-inspiring manifestations that humble human pride and reorient attention toward higher order and purpose.
Vāsudeva describes a sudden transformation of the heavens: the sky blazes as if with a hundred suns, accompanied by a hundred moons and innumerable stars—an adbhuta (marvel/omen) indicating an exceptional, superhuman occurrence unfolding in the story.
