Translation
Dhṛtarāṣṭra said: “When those fierce, impetuous words were spoken then, in the hearing of the Kurus, it must have been after reflecting on that that he saw Karṇa as defeated.” Amid war-counsel and wounded pride, the king reads the moral weight of speech: harsh words, once uttered before one’s own people, can harden resolve and shape how victory and defeat are perceived.
