संध्यां तिष्ठत्सु सैन्येषु सूर्यस्योदयनं प्रति । प्रावात्सपृषतो वायुरनभ्रे स्तनयित्नुमान्॥६-१९-३६॥
As the armies held their positions at twilight, facing toward the sun’s rising, a wind began to blow with spray; though the sky was cloudless, it was laden with thunder.

Then, as the armies were making ready, O bull of the Bhāratas, the sun rose without brilliance; the earth trembled with a roar, and there came a cracking as of things rending apart, accompanied by sound, O best of the Bhāratas.
