Unchecked martial power (astratejas) can become a cosmic threat; dharma requires restraint and higher wisdom to intervene when violence exceeds moral limits.
Two beings, blazing with weapon-like energy and causing widespread burning/affliction, are described as standing firm; then two great seers appear together in that place, signaling an intervention to address the dangerous escalation.
