कुन्ती–कर्णसंवादः
Kuntī–Karṇa Dialogue: Loyalty, Fate, and Constrained Assurance
कर्णार्जुनौ वै भवेतां यथा रामजनार्दनौ | असाध्यं कि तु लोके स्याद् युवयो: संहितात्मनो:,कर्ण और अर्जुन दोनों मिलकर वैसे ही बलशाली हैं जैसे बलराम और श्रीकृष्ण। बेटा! तुम दोनों हृदयसे संगठित हो जाओ तो इस जगत्में तुम्हारे लिये कौन-सा कार्य असाध्य होगा?
karṇārjunau vai bhavetāṃ yathā rāmajanārdanau | asādhyaṃ kiṃ tu loke syād yuvayoḥ saṃhitātmanoḥ ||
Karna said: “Let Karna and Arjuna be together, just as Balarāma and Janārdana (Kṛṣṇa) stand together. If you two become united in heart, what task in this world could possibly remain beyond your power?”
