Esoteric interpretation
The poster treats spectacular warfare in an epic as a possible memory of catastrophic ancient technology. The esoteric implication is cyclic history: an earlier civilization may have reached great power before destruction and forgetting. That is an alternative-history reading of a literary and religious work, not a demonstrated nuclear event or the only meaning of the Mahabharata.
