Adhyāya 22: Śālva’s Weapon-Shower, Dāruka’s Wounding, and the Māyā-Report of Vasudeva’s Father
एवं दश दिश: सर्वास्तिर्यगूर्ध्य च भारत । नादयामासुरसुरास्ते चापि निहता मया,भारत! इस तरह वे असुर इधर-उधर ऊपर-नीचे दसों दिशाओंमें कोलाहल करते और मेरे हाथसे मारे जाते थे
evaṁ daśa diśaḥ sarvāstiryagūrdhya ca bhārata | nādayāmāsur asurās te cāpi nihatā mayā, bhārata ||
伐由说道:“婆罗多啊,就这样,在十方之中——横向四周,乃至上方——阿修罗们处处鼓噪喧嚣;然而他们也都被我所击杀。纵使暴烈之声遍满诸方,遇到顺应正法的力量,终将止息。”
वायुदेव उवाच
Noise, aggression, and disorder spreading in every direction do not establish strength or righteousness; when opposed by a power aligned with cosmic order, such adharma is checked and destroyed.
Vāyudeva describes how the Asuras created a great clamor throughout all directions—horizontally and above—yet he overcame them and slew them.
