Shloka 14
धृष्टद्युम्नस्य द्रोणाभिमुख्यं तथा सात्यकि-कर्ण-समागमः
Dhṛṣṭadyumna’s advance toward Droṇa and the Sātyaki–Karṇa confrontation
को हि नाम प्रमत्ताय परेण सह युध्यते । ईदृशं व्यसन दद्यादू यो न कृष्णसखो भवेत्,कौन ऐसा मनुष्य है, जो दूसरेके साथ युद्ध करनेवाले असावधान योद्धाको ऐसा संकट प्रदान कर सकता है। जो श्रीकृष्णका मित्र न हो, उससे ऐसा कर्म नहीं बन सकता
ko hi nāma pramattāya pareṇa saha yudhyate | īdṛśaṃ vyasanaṃ dadyād yo na kṛṣṇasakho bhavet ||
অসাৱধান অৱস্থাত যুদ্ধ কৰা প্ৰতিপক্ষৰ সৈতে কোনে যুদ্ধ কৰি, তাৰ ওপৰত এনে বিপৰ্যয় আনিব? যি শ্ৰীকৃষ্ণৰ সখা নহয়, তাৰ দ্বাৰা এনে কৰ্ম সম্ভৱ নহয়।

Educational Q&A
The verse invokes the kṣatriya ideal of fair combat: it is improper to take advantage of an opponent’s heedlessness and to cause him grave harm. It also frames extraordinary battlefield outcomes as possible only through association with Kṛṣṇa, implying a moral and providential dimension to victory.
Bhūriśravā comments on a battlefield incident where a vulnerable or inattentive fighter is struck and suffers severe misfortune. He questions who would do such a thing and attributes the capacity to bring about such an outcome to being Kṛṣṇa’s ally, reflecting both reproach and recognition of Kṛṣṇa’s influence in the war.
