Mahabharata — Svargarohana Parva, Shloka 9
स्थावरं जड़म॑ चैव जगत् सर्व सुरासुरम् । भारते भरतश्रेष्ठ एकस्थमिह दृश्यते

毗舍摩波耶那说：噢，婆罗多族中最卓越者！在这部《摩诃婆罗多》中，人们看见整个宇宙——诸天与阿修罗——汇聚于一处：不动者与无知觉者，乃至一切存在之物。于这终极的显现里，史诗展开一幅宏大的法（dharma）之全景，万类众生各安其位而同来集会，仿佛要见证法的最后裁断与般度五子（Pāṇḍava）的命运归宿。

The verse frames the epic’s end as a universal moral theatre: all orders of existence—divine, demonic, living, and inert—are envisioned as present together, implying that dharma is not merely a human concern but a cosmic principle before which all stand as witnesses.
Vaiśampāyana addresses Janamejaya and describes a scene of comprehensive gathering: the whole world, including suras and asuras, appears as if assembled in one place—an epic device that heightens the sense that the concluding events of Svargārohaṇa are of universal significance.
