द्रोणपर्व — पञ्चदशोऽध्यायः (Droṇa Parva, Chapter 15): युधिष्ठिर-रक्षा तथा अर्जुनस्य शरवृष्टिः
आश्चर्यभूतं लोकेषु कथयिष्यन्ति मानवा: । कुरूणां पाण्डवानां च युद्ध देवासुरोपमम्,देवताओं और असुरोंके समान इस कौरव-पाण्डव-युद्धको संसारके मनुष्य अत्यन्त आश्चर्यकी वस्तु बतायेंगे
āścaryabhūtaṁ lokeṣu kathayiṣyanti mānavāḥ | kurūṇāṁ pāṇḍavānāṁ ca yuddhaṁ devāsuropamam ||
三阇耶说道:“在诸世界之中,人们将把此事传为奇观——俱卢与般度之战,宛如天神与阿修罗的交锋。”
संजय उवाच
The verse highlights how extraordinary, world-shaping conflicts become moral and cultural memory: the Kurus–Pāṇḍavas war is portrayed as so intense and consequential that later generations will recount it with awe, as if it were a cosmic struggle between devas and asuras.
Sañjaya, reporting events to Dhṛtarāṣṭra, characterizes the ongoing battle as unprecedented and destined to be widely narrated. He emphasizes its scale by likening it to mythic wars of gods and demons.
