तेषां तस्य च तद् युद्धमभवल्लोमहर्षणम् । त्रैलोक्यविजये यादृग् दैत्यानां सह वज्िणा,उन योद्धाओं तथा अर्जुनका वह युद्ध वैसा ही रोमांचकारी था, जैसा कि त्रैलोक्य- विजयके समय वज्र॒धारी इन्द्रके साथ दैत्योंका हुआ था
teṣāṁ tasya ca tad yuddham abhaval lomaharṣaṇam | trailokyavijaye yādṛg daityānāṁ saha vajriṇā ||
三阇耶说道：那些勇士与阿周那之间的战斗，令人毛发悚然、震撼心魄——正如往昔因陀罗执金刚杵征服三界之时，代提耶诸魔与他所爆发的可怖冲突一般。

Educational Q&A
The verse does not give a direct moral injunction, but it frames the battlefield as a place where human action can resemble mythic, world-shaking struggles. The implied ethical tension is that war magnifies power and valor, yet also demands discernment about righteous purpose (dharma) amid overwhelming violence.
Sañjaya describes the combat between Arjuna and the opposing warriors as intensely thrilling and fearsome. To convey its scale, he compares it to the legendary battle in which Indra, armed with the vajra, fought the Daityas during his conquest of the three worlds.
