Droṇa-parva Adhyāya 114 — Karṇa–Bhīmasena Missile Exchange, Disarmament, and Arjuna’s Intervention

यथोपदिष्टमाचार्य: कार्य: पजचगुणो रथ: । “इस संग्राममें नाना प्रकारके आयुधोंका उसी प्रकार संग्रह कर लेना चाहिये, जैसा कि आचार्योने उपदेश किया है। रथपर रखी जानेवाली युद्धसामग्री पहलेसे पाँचगुनी कर देनी चाहिये

yathopadiṣṭam ācāryaḥ kāryaḥ pañcaguṇo rathaḥ |

قال سنجيا: «ينبغي إعداد العربة كما أوصى المعلمون تمامًا. وفي هذه المعركة تُجمع شتّى الأسلحة وتُرتَّب على ذلك النحو، ويُجعل ما على العربة من عُدّة القتال خمسةَ أضعافٍ سلفًا.»

Educational Q&A

Follow competent instruction and maintain disciplined preparedness: in warfare, proper organization and sufficient reserves (here, a fivefold stock on the chariot) are presented as essential to responsible action.

Sañjaya reports practical battlefield counsel: weapons and implements should be assembled as the preceptors prescribed, and the chariot’s carried supplies should be increased fivefold beforehand to meet the demands of prolonged, unpredictable combat.
