Shloka 5
वधं कर्णस्य संग्रामे दीर्घकालचिकीर्षितम् । निवेद्य धर्मराजाय त्वमानृण्यं गमिष्यसि,“उन्हें दीर्घकालसे युद्धमें कर्णके वधकी अभिलाषा थी। आज धर्मराजको यह समाचार बताकर तुम उऋण हो जाओगे
vadhaṁ karṇasya saṅgrāme dīrghakālacikīrṣitam | nivedya dharmarājāya tvam ānṛṇyaṁ gamiṣyasi |
قال سانجيا: «إن قتل كارنا في ساحة القتال كان مقصودًا منذ زمن طويل. فإذا رفعت هذا الخبر إلى الملك دارماراجا، برئت ذمتك وأديت ما عليك من واجب.»

The verse highlights dharma as the faithful discharge of one’s assigned responsibility: conveying truthful, consequential news to the rightful authority. ‘Ānṛṇya’ frames duty as a moral debt that is cleared by completing one’s role without evasion.
Sanjaya states that Karna’s death in the battle was long anticipated/aimed at, and instructs that once this outcome is reported to Dharmaraja (Yudhiṣṭhira), the messenger will have fulfilled his obligation and be ‘free of debt’—i.e., his task is complete.
