अस्त्रयुद्धे द्रौणिपार्थसंघर्षः — Karṇa’s Bhārgavāstra and the Search for Yudhiṣṭhira

Chapter 45

निषघ्नन्नमित्रान्‌ कौन्तेयो यं कर्ण परिपृच्छसि । “कर्ण! तुम जिन्हें बारंबार पूछ रहे थे, वे ही ये कुन्तीकुमार अर्जुन शत्रुओंका संहार करते हुए रथके साथ आ पहुँचे। उनके घोड़े श्वेत रंगके हैं, श्रीकृष्ण उनके सारथि हैं और वे कर्मोंके फलकी भाँति तुम्हारी सम्पूर्ण सेनाओंके लिये दुर्निवार्य हैं

niṣaghnann amitrān kaunteyo yaṁ karṇa paripṛcchasi |

Sañjaya sagte: „Karna, der, nach dem du immer wieder gefragt hast—Arjuna, Kuntīs Sohn—ist nun mit seinem Wagen eingetroffen und mäht die Feinde nieder. Seine Rosse sind weiß, Śrī Kṛṣṇa ist sein Wagenlenker, und wie die unausweichliche Frucht der Taten ist er für all deine Heere unaufhaltsam.“

Educational Q&A

The verse frames Arjuna’s unstoppable advance as akin to karma-phala—the inevitable consequence of actions—suggesting that in moral order, results mature and become difficult to resist, even on the battlefield.

Sanjaya informs Karna that Arjuna—the warrior Karna has been asking about—has reached the scene in his chariot, killing enemies; his white horses and Krishna as charioteer mark his formidable presence against the Kaurava forces.
