Karna’s Gift-Vows, Shalya’s Counsel, and the Battle of Words
ततः किलकिलाशब्दा: प्रादुरासन् महीपते । भूपाल! तदनन्तर उस महासमरमें सहस्रों बाजे बजने लगे और वहाँ किलकिलाहटकी आवाज गूँज उठी
tataḥ kilakilāśabdāḥ prādurāsan mahīpate |
Sañjaya thưa: “Bấy giờ, tâu Đại vương, tiếng reo hò mừng rỡ vang lên ầm ầm, bỗng chốc nổi dậy. Ngay sau đó, trong trận đại chiến ấy, hàng nghìn nhạc khí đồng loạt rền vang, và khắp chiến địa dội lại những tiếng hò hét náo động.”

Educational Q&A
The verse primarily functions as battlefield narration rather than direct moral instruction; it highlights how collective emotion—exultation, aggression, and momentum—manifests as overwhelming sound, reminding readers that war amplifies passions and can sweep individuals into a larger, uncontrollable force.
Sañjaya reports to the king that a sudden uproar arose on the battlefield: loud cries rang out and countless instruments began to sound, signaling an intensification of the combat atmosphere and the mobilization of forces.
