द्रोणकर्णयोः निशि संप्रहारः — Night Engagement with Droṇa and Karṇa
ततः कृष्णो महाबाहू रजतप्रतिमान् हयान् । हयज्ञश्नोदयामास जयद्रथवध्ध॑ प्रति,तब अभश्वविद्याके ज्ञाता महाबाहु श्रीकृष्णने जयद्रथको मारनेके उद्देश्स्से उसकी ओर चाँदीके समान श्वेत घोड़ोंको हाँका
tataḥ kṛṣṇo mahābāhu rajatapratimān hayān | hayajñaḥ nodayāmāsa jayadrathavadhaṃ prati ||
قال سانجيا: ثم إنّ كريشنا، عظيمَ الذراعين، الخبيرَ بفنّ قيادة الخيل، حثَّ الجيادَ البيضاء كالفِضّة ودفعها إلى الأمام، بعزمٍ على إنجاز قتلِ جايادراثا.

Educational Q&A
Focused action in a crisis: skill (charioteering) and resolve are ethically directed toward a pledged duty, showing how competence and steadiness become instruments of dharma when one is bound by a vow and responsibility.
Kṛṣṇa, acting as Arjuna’s charioteer, drives the silver-white horses forward, steering the chariot toward the objective of Jayadratha’s death—an urgent battlefield maneuver tied to the day’s decisive vow.
