Shloka 36
ततोडन््तरिक्षे साक्षेपा विवादा भरतर्षभ । मिथो भेदाश्न भूतानामासन् कर्णार्जुनान्तरे,भरतश्रेष्ठ) तदनन्तर अन्तरिक्षमें स्थित हुए समस्त भूतोंमें कर्ण और अर्जुनकी जय- पराजयको लेकर परस्पर आक्षेपयुक्त विवाद और मतभेद पैदा हो गया
tad anantaram antarikṣe sākṣepā vivādā bharatarṣabha | mitho bhedāś ca bhūtānām āsan karṇārjunāntare ||
Dijo Sañjaya: Después de ello, oh toro entre los Bharatas, entre todos los seres apostados en el espacio intermedio surgieron disputas contenciosas, llenas de reproches, y divergencias mutuas de opinión acerca de la victoria y la derrota de Karṇa y Arjuna. Hasta los espectadores de la batalla quedaron divididos, revelando cuán decisivo—y moralmente cargado—parecía este duelo ante el mundo.
