Bhīṣma-parva Adhyāya 16 — Saṃjaya’s Boon, Bhīṣma’s Protection, and the Dawn Arraying of Armies
नैव नस्तादृशो राजन दृष्टपूर्वो न च श्रुत: । अनीकानां समेतानां कौरवाणां तथाविध:,राजन्! कौरवोंकी इतनी बड़ी सेनाका वैसा संगठन मैंने पहले कभी न तो देखा था और नसुना ही था
naiva nas tādṛśo rājan dṛṣṭapūrvo na ca śrutaḥ | anīkānāṁ sametānāṁ kauravāṇāṁ tathāvidhaḥ ||
三阇耶说道：大王啊，如此阵列，我从未见过——亦未曾听闻。俱卢诸军分部汇集，布置得森严可畏而又井然有序。此言既彰显大军规模之宏与纪律之整，也暗示在这般力量被动员之时，战争所负的沉重法义与伦理之担。

Educational Q&A
The verse does not give a direct moral injunction, but it frames the ethical gravity of the coming conflict by emphasizing the unprecedented scale and disciplined organization of the Kaurava host—suggesting how immense power, once mobilized, magnifies the consequences of adharma and the suffering of war.
Sañjaya reports to King Dhṛtarāṣṭra about the battlefield preparations, expressing astonishment that he has never seen or heard of such a massive, well-organized deployment of the assembled Kaurava divisions.
