ततः सर्वस्य रङ्गस्य हाहाकारो महान् अभूत् ॥
साधुवादानुसंबद्धः सूर्यश् चास्तम् उपागमत् ॥
ततो दुर्योधनः कर्णम् आलम्ब्याथ करे नृप ॥
दीपिकाग्निकृतालोकस् तस्माद् रङ्गाद् विनिर्ययौ ॥
पाण्डवाश् च सहद्रोणाः सकृपाश् च विशां पते ॥
भीष्मेण सहिताः सर्वे ययुः स्वं स्वं निवेशनम् ॥
tataḥ sarvasya raṅgasya hāhākāro mahān abhūt ||
sādhuvādānusaṃbaddhaḥ sūryaś cāstam upāgamat ||
tato duryodhanaḥ karṇam ālambyātha kare nṛpa ||
dīpikāgnikṛtālokas tasmād raṅgād viniryayau ||
pāṇḍavāś ca sahadroṇāḥ sakṛpāś ca viśāṃ pate ||
bhīṣmeṇa sahitāḥ sarve yayuḥ svaṃ svaṃ niveśanam ||
"Then a great uproar rose over the whole arena, mixed with cries of approval; and the sun set. Duryodhana, taking Karna by the hand, went out from that arena by the light of torches; and the Pandavas, together with Drona, Kripa, and Bhishma, all went, each to his own dwelling."

Here nightfall breaks off a confrontation that had grown heated. It is telling that the sun sets at the very moment when hostility was about to burst into battle: nature itself, as it were, parts the rivals, not letting the feud resolve into blood before its time. Here is the working of providence, deferring the clash to its appointed hour. Telling, too, is the parting into two camps: Duryodhana leads Karna away, while the Pandavas go with Bhishma and the teachers — two future armies part ways, only to meet again at Kurukshetra. Thus scripture closes the tale of the tournament: enmity laid bare, alliances sealed, and only the sunset deferring the inevitable.
