Shloka 14
ततः प्रायाद् रथेनाशु केशवस्तव वाहिनीम् । कर्ण प्रति महेष्वासं द्वैरथे सव्यसाचिना
tataḥ prāyād rathenāśu keśavas tava vāhinīm | karṇa-prati maheṣvāsaṁ dvairathe savyasācinā ||
তাৰ পাছত কেশৱে ৰথখন তৎক্ষণাৎ চলাই তোমাৰ সেনাৰ মাজলৈ সোমাই, মহাধনুৰ্ধৰ কৰ্ণৰ দিশে আগবাঢ়িল; যাতে সব্যসাচী অৰ্জুনে তেওঁৰ সৈতে ৰথে-ৰথে মুখামুখি দ্বৈৰথ যুঁজত অৱতীৰ্ণ হ’ব পাৰে।

The verse highlights purposeful confrontation guided by wise leadership: Kṛṣṇa decisively positions Arjuna to meet Karṇa directly, reflecting the kṣatriya ethic of facing a worthy adversary and bearing responsibility for one’s chosen action in war.
Kṛṣṇa (Keśava), acting as Arjuna’s charioteer, quickly drives into the opposing host toward Karṇa, arranging a direct chariot-to-chariot duel between Arjuna (Savyasācin) and the great archer Karṇa.
