Shloka 62
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 ||
Sañjaya thưa: Tất cả các đoàn chư thiên, và quả thật mọi loài hữu tình, đều bừng dậy trong nỗi sợ và sự căng thẳng. Về phía Pārtha (Arjuna) đứng, chư thiên đóng quân; còn về phía Karṇa đứng, các a-tu-la tụ hội.

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.
