अध्याय ३: कृपस्य दुर्योधनं प्रति नीत्युपदेशः
Kṛpa’s Counsel to Duryodhana
धनंजयो रथानीकमन्वपद्यत वीर्यवान्,दूसरी ओर पराक्रमी अर्जुनने रथसेनापर आक्रमण किया। माद्रीकुमार नकुल-सहदेव तथा महाबली सात्यकि दुर्योधनकी सेनाका विनाश करते हुए बड़े वेगसे शकुनिपर टूट पड़े
sañjaya uvāca | dhanañjayo rathānīkam anvapadyata vīryavān | mādryāḥ putrau nakula-sahadevau tathā mahābalī sātyakiḥ duryodhanasya senāṃ vināśayan mahāvegāt śakunim abhyapatat ||
قال سنجيا: اندفع دهننجيا (أرجونا) الجبار نحو كتائب العربات المحتشدة. وعلى الجانب الآخر، كان ابنا مادري—ناكولا وسهاديفا—ومعهما المحارب العظيم ساتياكي، يفتكون بقوات دوريودhana، ثم اندفعوا بسرعة هائلة وانقضّوا على شكوني.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the kṣatriya ideal of decisive action and courage, while implicitly reminding the reader that even justified warfare carries heavy ethical weight: victory is pursued through strategy and valor, yet it unfolds through widespread destruction.
Sañjaya reports that Arjuna advances against a concentrated chariot formation, while Nakula, Sahadeva, and Sātyaki, after cutting down Duryodhana’s troops, rush at high speed to engage Śakuni as a key opposing leader.
