All the sons of Dhritarashtra, along with Bhishma, Drona, Karna, and warriors from both sides, rush into the fearsome mouths of the cosmic form. Shankaracharya sees this as the direct perception of time consuming all beings. Ramanujacharya reads it as the Lord drawing all beings toward their appointed end. Madhva sees the Lord actively drawing to Himself those whose time has come through divine justice. Abhinavagupta sees individual consciousness being reabsorbed into the universal. Vallabha notes the terrifying equality of divine sovereignty — before God, 'our side' and 'their side' are meaningless. Tilak identifies this as the turning point of Arjuna's dilemma: the warriors are already entering the cosmic mouth, making Arjuna's role purely instrumental. Vivekananda reads the named warriors rushing to destruction as demonstrating that death is a cosmic process transcending individual agency. Together, these perspectives transform Arjuna's moral crisis: what he feared as murder is revealed as participation in a cosmic process already ordained by the Lord of Time.
