दोषमत्र न पश्यामि शूराणां रणमूर्थनि
doṣam atra na paśyāmi śūrāṇāṃ raṇamūrdhani
Sañjaya sprach: „Hier sehe ich keinen Makel an den Kriegern, die an der äußersten Front der Schlacht stehen.“

Educational Q&A
The line frames a key ethical stance in epic warfare: when warriors act according to their kṣatriya-duty in open battle, blame is not automatically assigned to their courage or battlefield conduct; moral fault must be judged by intention, justice of cause, and adherence to rules, not merely by the fact of fighting.
Sanjaya, narrating the events of the Kurukṣetra war, comments that he finds no blame in the heroes who are positioned at the very front of the fighting—emphasizing their valor and the accepted martial code of meeting battle directly.
