Shloka 16
Parāśara’s Counsel on बुद्धि (Discernment), Karma-Consequences, and Avoidance of Pāpānubandha Actions
पितामहपुरोगाश्च सर्वे देवगणास्तथा । ऋषयश्च महाभागास्तद् युद्ध द्र्ठमागमन्
pitāmaha-purogāś ca sarve deva-gaṇās tathā | ṛṣayaś ca mahā-bhāgās tad yuddhaṃ draṣṭum āgaman |
毗湿摩说道：“在祖父神（梵天）率领之下，诸天众与福德深厚的诸仙人来到那里，观看那场战斗。诸成就者（悉达）与乾闼婆偕同天女（阿普萨拉），乘坐上等天车亦纷至沓来，皆为这场交锋的奇观所吸引。此景昭示：由达摩与非达摩所驱动的战争，竟也成为天界的观览之事，令人反思人类行为所负的道德重量。”

Bhīṣma describes how Brahmā, the gods, and great sages—along with Siddhas, Gandharvas, and Apsarases—arrive in celestial vehicles to watch the extraordinary battle.
