Karna–Krishna Dialogue: Omens and Dream-Signs
गाण्डीवस्य च निर्घोषं विस्फूर्जितमिवाशने: । न तदा भविता त्रेता न कृत॑ द्वापरं न च
gāṇḍīvasya ca nirghoṣaṁ visphūrjitam ivāśaneḥ | na tadā bhavitā tretā na kṛtaṁ dvāparaṁ na ca, karṇa |
又当甘狄婆弓的轰鸣——如霹雳之裂响——击入你耳，迦尔那啊，于你而言，特雷塔不复，克利塔（真劫）不存，连堕婆罗也不再有。唯有可怖的争斗之灵在场；阿周那携奎师那为御者而来，显现诸般神兵。

Educational Q&A
The verse uses yuga-imagery to stress moral and social collapse in the face of adharma-driven war: when violence and rivalry dominate, the qualities associated with earlier, more righteous ages feel absent, and only conflict (Kali-like disorder) seems to prevail.
Sañjaya warns Karṇa about the battlefield moment when Arjuna—supported by Kṛṣṇa as charioteer—unleashes divine power; the terrifying sound of the Gāṇḍīva is portrayed as so overwhelming that it eclipses any sense of auspicious order, leaving only the experience of catastrophic strife.
