अर्जुनस्योत्तरदिग्विजयः
Arjuna’s Northern Conquests and Tribute Collection
शक्रविष्णू हि संग्रामे चेरतुस्तारकामये । भीम और अर्जुन--से दो योद्धा उस रथपर बैठे थे
śakra-viṣṇū hi saṅgrāme ceratus tārakāmaye |
毗湿摩波罗耶那说：在那如群星辉映的战场上，战车上的二人往来驰骋，宛如天帝释迦（因陀罗）与毗湿奴并坐同游。毗摩与阿周那——两位卓绝的战士——端坐车上，而圣克里希纳为御者，沉稳执缰。纵使最强的弓箭手，也难以战胜此车；因这两位车战勇士之威仪，那上乘战车更显光华，仿佛因陀罗与毗湿奴同临星辉之战。

The verse uses a divine simile to highlight how extraordinary prowess and well-directed action can elevate human effort to a near-divine standard; it implicitly values disciplined leadership and coordinated strength as forces that make victory possible even against formidable opposition.
Vaiśampāyana describes a chariot moving through a brilliant, star-like battle, saying it appeared as if Indra and Viṣṇu were together traversing the battlefield—an image meant to convey overwhelming splendor and power.
