ताडयामास समरे तिष्ठ तिछेति चाब्रवीत्‌ । महाराज! उस समय उन दोनोंमें रोमांचकारी युद्ध होने लगा। धृष्टद्युम्नने समरांगणमें झुकी हुई गाँठवाले बाणसे राधापुत्र कर्णको चोट पहुँचायी और कहा--'खड़ा रह, खड़ा रह'

قال سنجيا: «يا مولاي الملك، في خضمّ المعركة ضربه وهو يصيح: “اثبت—اثبت!” فاشتدّ القتال بينهما وصار مثيرًا مروّعًا. وقد جرح دْهريشتاديومنَ كَرْنَ، ابن رادها، في ساحة الوغى بسهمٍ معقود المفاصل (معوّج)، متحدّيًا إيّاه أن يثبت في موضعه.»

Educational Q&A

The verse highlights kṣatriya-dharma in its stark form: a warrior must meet challenge with steadiness and courage. The repeated command “Stand firm” is not merely taunt but a demand for honorable confrontation—yet it also sits within the ethical tension of the Mahābhārata, where valor unfolds amid a tragic, morally complex war.

Sanjaya reports an intense duel: Dhṛṣṭadyumna strikes Karṇa with a distinctive arrow and calls out for him to hold his ground. The exchange signals escalation—both sides testing strength and resolve in close combat on the battlefield.
