युयुधे पाण्डुभि: सार्थ कर्णस्याप्पाययन् बलम् । दुःशासन विधिपूर्वक सजाये हुए दूसरे रथपर बैठकर कर्णके बलको बढ़ाता हुआ पुनः पाण्डवोंके साथ युद्ध करने लगा
sañjaya uvāca | yuyudhe pāṇḍubhiḥ sārthaṃ karṇasyāpyāyayan balam | duḥśāsanaḥ vidhipūrvakaṃ sajāye (sajjīkṛte) dvitīye rathopaviśya karṇasya balaṃ vardhayann punaḥ pāṇḍavaiḥ saha yuddhaṃ kartum ārabdhavān |
સંજય બોલ્યા—દુઃશાસન વિધિપૂર્વક તૈયાર કરેલા બીજા રથ પર ચઢી, કર્ણનું બળ વધારવાની ઇચ્છાથી, ફરી પાંડવો સાથે યુદ્ધ કરવા લાગ્યો।

Educational Q&A
Even in war, effectiveness often depends on orderly, disciplined support (vidhipūrvakam) and the deliberate strengthening of leadership (āpyāyayan balam). Ethically, the verse also highlights how such discipline can be employed in service of an unrighteous cause, reminding readers that competence and dharma are not identical.
Sanjaya reports that Duhshasana mounts another prepared chariot and re-enters the fight, acting to bolster Karna’s strength and continuing the battle against the Pandavas.
