Shloka 61
इस प्रकार सूर्य और इन्द्रमें विवाद होने लगा। वे दोनों देवश्रेष्ठ वहाँ एक-एक पक्षमें खड़े थे। भारत! देवताओं और असुरोंमें भी वहाँ दो पक्ष हो गये थे ।।
sañjaya uvāca | itthaṃ sūrya-indrayor vivādo 'bhavat | tau ubhau devaśreṣṭhau tatra pratyekaṃ pakṣe sthitau | bhārata! devānām asurāṇāṃ ca tatra dvau pakṣau babhūvatuḥ || sametau tau mahātmānau dṛṣṭvā karṇa-dhanañjayau | akampanta trayo lokāḥ saha devarṣi-cāraṇāḥ ||
三阇耶说道：就这样，苏利耶与因陀罗之间的争执愈发激烈。两位天神之最在彼处各立一方。噢，婆罗多啊，甚至在诸天与阿修罗之中也分成了对立的两派。见到两位大勇士——迦尔纳与檀那阇耶（阿周那）——为战而会，三界众生连同天仙圣者与查罗那众，都为之战栗。

The verse highlights how a single human confrontation—when driven by deep loyalties and rival claims—can assume a cosmic dimension. Even divine beings take sides, suggesting that war tests dharma and shakes the moral and social order across all realms.
Sañjaya reports that Sūrya and Indra fall into dispute and stand on opposing sides; devas and asuras also split into factions. As Karna and Arjuna gather for their decisive battle, the three worlds tremble along with divine seers and celestial bards, underscoring the duel’s immense significance.
