Shloka 147
कर्णेन युधिष्ठिरानीकविदारणम् / Karṇa’s Breach of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Battle-Line
एतच्छुत्वा तु वचन प्रतिगृह्य च सर्वश:
etac chrutvā tu vacanaṃ pratigṛhya ca sarvaśaḥ | tatraiva śirodhārya paraśurāmaḥ svastivācana-ādi maṅgalakṛtyaṃ kṛtvā dānavānāṃ samāgamaṃ prati jagāma | mahān darpa-bala-sampannān devāriṇas tān evaṃ provāca ||
Al oír aquellas palabras y aceptarlas en todo, Paraśurāma las guardó en su corazón. Tras realizar ritos propicios, como recitaciones de bendición y otras ceremonias auspiciosas, partió para enfrentar a los Dānavas. Entonces, frente a aquellos enemigos de los dioses—orgullosos y poderosos—les habló de este modo—
महेश्वर उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights disciplined action: one should internalize sound counsel, uphold auspicious and orderly conduct (maṅgala-kṛtya), and then face conflict with steadiness—without being shaken by the opponent’s pride and power.
Maheśvara narrates that Paraśurāma, after accepting what was said and performing benedictory rites, goes to meet the Dānavas (enemies of the gods) and begins to address them before the confrontation.
