धृतराष्ट्र–संजय संवादः: कर्ण–घटोत्कचयोर्निशायुद्धवर्णनम्

Dhṛtarāṣṭra–Sañjaya Dialogue: Description of the Night Engagement of Karṇa and Ghaṭotkaca

यदवोचोडप्रियं भीम॑ नैतत्‌ सत्यं वचस्तव । 'तूने युद्धमें संलग्न, श्रेष्ठ व्रतके पालनमें तत्पर, पराक्रमी और शूरवीर भीमसेनके प्रति जो अप्रिय वचन कहा है, तेरा यह कथन ठीक नहीं है

sañjaya uvāca | yad avoco 'priyaṃ bhīma naitat satyaṃ vacas tava |

قال سنجيا: «إنّ الكلام المؤذي الذي قلته لبهِيما ليس حقًّا. ومثل هذا القول غير لائق—ولا سيّما إذا وُجِّه إلى بهيماسينا، المنخرط في القتال، الثابت على النذور الشريفة، المشهور بالبأس والبطولة.»

Educational Q&A

Speech should be truthful and appropriate; harsh or demeaning words—especially against a virtuous and valorous person—are ethically improper and undermine dharma even amid war.

Sañjaya reports and critiques a statement made to Bhīma, asserting that the unpleasant remark directed at the battle-engaged, vow-steadfast Bhīmasena is not true and is therefore improper.
