त्रिभागमात्रशेषायां रात्र्यां युद्धम् अवर्तत ॥
कुरूणां पाण्डवानां च संहृष्टानां विशां पते ॥
अथ चन्द्रप्रभां मुष्णन्न् आदित्यस्य पुरःसरः ॥
अरुणो ऽभ्युदयां चक्रे ताम्रीकुर्वन्न् इवाम्बरम् ॥
ततो द्वैधीकृते सैन्ये द्रोणः सोमकपाण्डवान् ॥
अभ्यद्रवत् सपाञ्चालान् दुर्योधनपुरोगमः ॥
द्वैधीभूतान् कुरून् दृष्ट्वा माधवो ऽर्जुनम् अब्रवीत् ॥
सपत्नान् सव्यतः कुर्मि सव्यसाचिन्न् इमान् कुरून् ॥

When only a third of the night remained, the battle raged between the Kurus and the Pandavas, exultant, O lord of peoples. Then, stealing the light of the moon, the forerunner of the sun, Aruna, brought about the sunrise, as if coppering the heavens. Then, when the army was divided in two, Drona, with the Panchalas, attacked the Somakas and the Pandavas, led by Duryodhana. Seeing the Kurus divided in two, Madhava [Krishna] said to Arjuna: "I hold the rivals to the left, O Savyasachin, these Kurus."

Dawn comes "stealing the moon's light": the night of merciful rest gives way to the day of new battle. It is telling that the sun itself is heralded by red Aruna -- a bloody gleam in the sky before a bloody day. The verse teaches that the passage of time relentlessly carries a person from respite to renewed labor and struggle; and the night's brief peace does not cancel the coming day, in which duty must again be performed and its burden borne.
