अर्जुनस्य द्रोणिप्रतिघातः कर्णोपसर्पणं च
Arjuna Checks Droṇaputra; Karṇa Advances
युयुधे पाण्डुभि: सार्थ कर्णस्याप्पाययन् बलम् । दुःशासन विधिपूर्वक सजाये हुए दूसरे रथपर बैठकर कर्णके बलको बढ़ाता हुआ पुनः पाण्डवोंके साथ युद्ध करने लगा
sañjaya uvāca | yuyudhe pāṇḍubhiḥ sārthaṃ karṇasyāpyāyayan balam | duḥśāsanaḥ vidhipūrvakaṃ sajāye (sajjīkṛte) dvitīye rathopaviśya karṇasya balaṃ vardhayann punaḥ pāṇḍavaiḥ saha yuddhaṃ kartum ārabdhavān |
Sanjaya said: Duhshasana, having duly mounted another prepared chariot in proper order, began once again to fight alongside the Pandavas, seeking to strengthen Karna’s force. The scene underscores how, amid the chaos of battle, disciplined support and renewed engagement are used to sustain a commander’s power—even when the cause itself is driven by hostility and adharma.
