"Lord Krishna said, Time I am, the great destroyer of the worlds, and I have come here to destroy all people. Look at my countless mouths eager to devour the three worlds in a gulp. Perplexed Arjun thought, it seems my request to Lord to be my saviour has gone in vain, for there is no lessening of the gruesomeness. Lord Krishna, sensing that His reply may disappoint Arjun quickly said, don't you fear Parth because you Pandavs will come out of it unscathed. This assurance gave courage to Arjun and saved him from being run out, his lost pallor returned. Recovering grit he started listening to Lord Krishna attentively. Lord Krishna said, you Pandavas are my devotees, and therefore except you I am going to spare none. I am all set to swallow the whole armies. Just like a small lump of butter falling into a terrifying inferno of a powerful, destructive doomsday fire, this universe goes into My mouth. The heroic deeds and accomplishments of warriors are all in vain. The heightened readiness  and enthusiasm of the warriors, their  resolve to engage in combat, the might of armies with fleets of elephants, are all so menacing as if they have upper hand over time. Their roar and war cries of creating a secondary creation, bent on killing the death itself, of swallowing the entire earth and set on fire the sky above, we will strand the wind with our arrows as entrapment.  Chaturanga, the four-limbed army, consisting of infantry, cavalry, elephants, and chariots, priding over their courage and valor all set to confront Maha-Kal the ultimate destroyer and ruler of time. Their war cries are sharper than weapons and hotter than fire and charged. They are more venomous than even Kalkut, the deadliest poison churned out during Samudra Manthan, the churning of ocean. But despite all this, these warriors are nothing more than the bunch of clouds in the sky that come and go. They are like colourful, attractive fruits, but in a painting, robust, but hollow from inside. They are as illusory as a flood of mirage or a snake made of cloth, or doll's dazzling appearance resplendent in ornaments."
