Educational Q&A
When adharma intensifies and a great conflict approaches, the tradition frames nature’s disturbances as moral indicators—prompting leaders to reflect, restrain pride, and seek dharmic resolution before irreversible harm occurs.
Bhīṣma is describing ominous phenomena: the wind’s agitation and the sun’s rays appearing in a troubling way, presented as portents accompanying the escalating crisis that will culminate in war.
