When the ranks had been arrayed, resounding with war-cries, O venerable one, when the kettledrums were struck and the mridangas rumbled, at the roar of the ranks and the clang of instruments, when the conches were blown, at the cry that made the hair stand on end, when the Bharatas, eager for battle, advanced slowly — when the dread hour had come, Savyasachin appeared.

The long chain of "when..." builds tension, and at its peak stands "savyasācī vyadṛśyata" — "Savyasachin appeared." The emergence of a single warrior crowns the din of two armies. It is significant that his arrival is marked by "raudre muhūrte," "in the dread hour": time itself responds to the fulfillment of a vow. The verse teaches the power of long accumulation: the poem does not hurry, gathering roar and tremor so that a single name — Arjuna's — might sound as the resolution of all this waiting; and the arrival of the one who fulfills a righteous vow coincides with the dread hour of destiny itself.
