सर्वे देवगणाश्वैव सर्वभूतानि यानि च । यतः पार्थस्ततो देवा यतः कर्णस्ततो5सुरा:,सम्पूर्ण देवता तथा समस्त प्राणी भी भयभीत हो उठे थे। जिस ओर अर्जुन थे, उधर देवता और जिस ओर कर्ण था, उधर असुर खड़े थे
sarve devagaṇāś caiva sarvabhūtāni yāni ca | yataḥ pārthas tato devā yataḥ karṇas tato 'surāḥ ||
سنجے نے کہا—تمام دیوتاؤں کے گروہ اور جتنے بھی جاندار تھے، سب خوف اور اضطراب سے بھر اٹھے۔ جدھر پارتھ (ارجن) تھا ادھر دیوتا جا کھڑے ہوئے؛ اور جدھر کرن تھا ادھر اسور جمع ہو گئے۔

The verse frames the duel as more than human combat: moral and cosmic forces seem to align with the principal warriors. It suggests that actions and inner disposition attract corresponding influences, and that war in the epic is read through the lens of dharma versus adharma—even when both sides contain complex, mixed motives.
Sañjaya describes the battlefield atmosphere as charged and fearful for all beings. He reports a symbolic division: the Devas gather where Arjuna stands, while the Asuras gather where Karṇa stands, emphasizing the magnitude of the confrontation and portraying it as a cosmic spectacle.
