Shloka 22
इदं च तदनुप्राप्तमब्रवीद् यद् युधिष्ठिर: । पुरा व्यूढेष्वनीकेषु दृष्टवोत्पातान् सुदारुणान्,'पूर्वकालमें कौरव-पाण्डवोंकी सेनाएँ जब व्यूहबद्ध होकर आमने-सामने खड़ी हुईं, उस समय भयानक उत्पातोंको देखकर युधिष्ठिरने जो कुछ कहा था, वैसा ही लक्षण इस समय भी उपस्थित है”
idaṃ ca tad anuprāptam abravīd yad yudhiṣṭhiraḥ | purā vyūḍheṣv anīkeṣu dṛṣṭvotpātān sudāruṇān ||
毗舍波耶那说：“如今那同样的情势已然应验——正如往昔犹提施提罗所言：当年俱卢与般度两军列成战阵相对而立，他见到极其惨烈可怖的凶兆之后所说的话，如今又在眼前呈现。”

The verse highlights how ominous signs recur when adharma and inevitable consequence gather strength: the same kind of dreadful portents seen before the great war are now present again, suggesting that moral and cosmic disorder announces itself and that wise leaders recognize patterns of impending calamity.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that the present moment mirrors an earlier crisis: just as Yudhiṣṭhira once spoke after witnessing terrifying omens when the Kaurava and Pāṇḍava armies stood arrayed for battle, similar signs have now appeared again, foreshadowing approaching disaster in the Mausala Parva context.
