Vaishampayana said: "Thus, terrified by the fall of the mountain, the dwellers of Khandava — danavas, rakshasas, nagas, hyenas, bears, forest-dwellers, mad elephants, tigers, maned lions, and deer, and buffaloes by the hundreds, and birds, agitated, fled, and other races of beings; gazing upon that conflagration and upon the two Krishnas with weapons raised, by the sound of the ominous roars they were as if terrified."

Here all living things scatter in terror before destruction. It is telling that even fearsome beasts tremble: before the face of death the strong and the weak stand equal. This is a reminder of the universal fear of death within samsara. So does scripture reveal the tumult of creatures; and the compassionate heart grieves to see their terror.
