v1.c5.69
It is also known to many of us that the Mahābhārata gives a description of how the two eclipses of the sun and the moon had occurred in the same month just before the terrific battle between the Kauravas and Pāṇḍavas was fought resulting in a tremendous loss of life. Similarly, in the Purāṇas we come across descriptions of shooting stars and meteors and appearances of comets preceding such calamities.
