prajajvāla nabho rājan dhūmāyante diśo daśa ||

The sky blazed, O king, the ten quarters smoked, and the beings moving through the sky could no longer remain in the airy space. When a cry of terror arose in the world, among gods, asuras and rakshasas alike, I thought, 'Now is the moment,' and wished to employ, O Bharata, the beloved weapon Prasvapa, as the knowers of Brahman had told me. I called that weapon to mind, and then it appeared within my mind.

In this chapter, the instruction received in sleep turns into action, but before the Prasvapa can be used, the battle reaches its most perilous edge: two brahmastras meet. The world responds not as a spectator but as a living whole — the sky blazes, the quarters smoke, and creatures suffer from the heat. This shows that the supreme weapon is not a mere technique for victory; it touches the very order of the cosmos. Bhishma waits for the moment to use the Prasvapa not out of a wish to destroy Rama, but to halt the destruction without killing his teacher. Thus dharma here calls not for maximum force, but for measure.
