The verse highlights the Mahābhārata’s ethical complexity: warriors who died in the catastrophic war are shown reappearing with luminous bodies, suggesting that dharma and karmic outcome operate on levels beyond immediate battlefield judgments, and that death does not end moral reckoning or cosmic order.
Vaiśampāyana lists many prominent warriors—Kaurava allies and others—who are said to manifest from the water with shining bodies. The catalogue emphasizes the vast scale of the war’s losses and frames a visionary moment in which the fallen are seen again in a transformed state.
