न युक्तान् हि स तान् मेने यमायाशु किरीटिना । उस समय भगवान् श्रीकृष्णने यह सोचकर कि अर्जुन-द्वारा इन सबको यमलोकमें भेज देना उचित नहीं है, रथके द्वारा उन्हें शीघ्र ही अपने दाहिने भागमें कर दिया
na yuktān hi sa tān mene yamāyāśu kirīṭinā |
Sañjaya said: He did not deem it proper that those men, already caught in that situation, should be swiftly sent to Yama’s realm by the diademed Arjuna. Therefore, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, considering it ethically unfitting, quickly maneuvered the chariot so as to place them to his right side, sparing them from immediate death.
